A man was arrested in Tacoronte after allegedly threatening his relatives with a knife during a domestic dispute over property inheritance.
Tacoronte is back in the headlines following a violent domestic dispute in the San Juan neighborhood. Police arrested a man last Sunday after an argument over property and inheritance turned dangerous.
The incident occurred at a home on Fray Diego Street. According to reports, a disagreement over the ownership of the house escalated when the man allegedly threatened his sister and cousin with a 12-centimeter dagger.
The victims managed to escape the property, and local police were called to the scene. The suspect initially barricaded himself in a room, but officers eventually entered and subdued him, recovering the weapon from his belongings.
The case is now being handled by the La Laguna Court. Authorities noted that the man has no prior criminal record, a detail that will be considered as the investigation continues.
