The bulbs that illuminate the distinctive Aromatic Park, situated in the “Barranco de Torreblanca,” have been entirely renovated as part of the Public Lighting Maintenance Service of the Torrevieja City Council.

These enhancement works were executed in accordance with the directives of the Department of Lighting and the Department of Parks and Gardens. The installation of 90 50-watt LED spotlights was conducted.

A one-time investment of 12,000 euros was required for this undertaking. Concha Sala, the councillor responsible for these areas, stated that this modest project represents a substantial enhancement in the illumination of a park that is frequently visited, particularly during holiday periods, such as the forthcoming Easter holiday season.

Various areas of the Torrevieja municipality will continue to undergo additional maintenance work to enhance street illumination.

The Orihuela Local Police has deactivated its social media accounts. This is a public service that reports on issues affecting the city, such as traffic closures due to accidents, pruning, felling, or any other event, such as the recent fall of debris from the tower of the Parish Church of Santas Justa y Rufina as a result of some works being carried out by the Bishopric, having over 12,600 followers on Instagram and 23,300 on Facebook, as well as on X, formerly Twitter.

The Department of Citizen Security has been notified, with the aim of restoring the sites as soon as possible, particularly in light of Holy Week, as they are utilised to report on street closures used by processions.

Three individuals have been arrested by the National Police in Elche, Alicante, on suspicion of counterfeiting currency. They are being accused of using counterfeit 20-euro banknotes to make a payment at a well-known entertainment venue in the city.

The investigation commenced in response to a complaint from the manager of seven entertainment venues in Elche. The manager reported that on multiple evenings, employees discovered three young men allegedly using counterfeit 20-euro bills to pay for their drinks.

The manager clarified that a waiter at one of the locations discovered a fraudulent bill during a security check of a customer’s currency. He promptly notified the security director of the establishment. The same evening, after the store closed, four bills were detected as having obvious signs of counterfeiting, all of which shared the same serial number.

Officers initiated an investigation subsequent to this complaint, which resulted in the identification of a man who may have been involved in the incidents. A few days later, a different individual attempted to make another payment at the same establishment using a counterfeit 20-euro bill. Five additional bills, which were identical to the previous ones, were discovered at the conclusion of the day.

Investigators were able to establish a connection between the crime and three regular consumers of the establishment through the collection of staff testimonies and the progression of the investigation.

Ultimately, the three suspects were apprehended in two distinct segments after being identified, with allegations of currency counterfeiting and fraud. The banknotes in question were forwarded to the Bank of Spain’s Investigation Brigade for analysis and investigation.
