The Local Police of Tacoronte have arrested three individuals following a pursuit that began when the driver of a vehicle ignored stop signals, driving at high speed, under the influence of alcohol, and without the relevant documentation.

The incident unfolded last Friday, around 7:00 PM, when a Tacoronte Local Police patrol observed a vehicle approaching from Valle de Guerra at excessive speed. When attempting to stop it, the driver disregarded the officers' instructions.
This action triggered a chase through several streets of the Tacoronte municipality, involving three police patrols to ensure the vehicle's interception and prevent its escape.
Ultimately, the vehicle was stopped. Inside were three occupants who, according to sources from the Tacoronte City Council, had numerous prior records. Furthermore, it was confirmed that the driver significantly exceeded the maximum legal alcohol limit.
