The Local Police of Telde has caught an individual practicing illegal fishing on the municipality's coast, an activity forbidden in the area.

A drone unit from the police force captured the man in the act of illegal activity. The disseminated images show how the individual attempted to submerge himself to hide his catch after noticing the aerial device approaching.
Through the drone's loudspeaker, officers warned the offender: "Attention, this is the Local Police speaking, illegal fishing is prohibited." Despite his attempt to conceal the results of his fishing, the Local Police reminds that this does not exempt him from the corresponding administrative sanction.
The Telde Local Police has intensified surveillance along its coastline to protect marine resources and ensure compliance with current regulations.
Subsequently, a ground patrol was dispatched, which intercepted and identified the person responsible for the prohibited fishing.
