Local Police sued for not providing bulletproof vests

Alicante’s Social Court is hearing a case against the General Directorate of Police (DGP) which has been filed by the Jupol union after they failed to provide bulletproof vests to Alicante agents.

Jupol said that there are some 600 police officers in Alicante who do not have bulletproof vests, with some agents still waiting after more than 13 years.

In addition, 759 euro in cash was seized and two people were arrested for an alleged crime against Public Health. A complaint has also been filed against the establishment for lacking a licence.

The operation was carried out on May 27, when members of the Local Police, who were carrying out surveillance work in the Via Park I shopping centre, saw that there was movement in and out of the Cannabis Cub 'The High Doctor'. On entering the premises, they found several people consuming marijuana and hashish cigarettes. The proprietors were unable to provide proof of being in posession of a license. The Local Police identified the eight people who were inside the premises and informed them that the Government Subdelegation would be notified of their names for alleged possession of illegal substances.

The establishment was sealed and the seized material was put before the courts at the Guardia Civil barracks in Torre de la Horadada.
