Aug 29 Alleged Frontier Incident - Guardia Civil
The Royal Gibraltar Police has received an unofficial report from Guardia Civil to the effect that a small number of missiles have been thrown at Guardia Civil officers on duty at the frontier yesterday afternoon. This has allegedly taken place at the peak of extensive queues to exit Gibraltar which at their height reached four hours.
The alleged missile throwing is reported to have come from the area of the motorcycle lane which at the time was full of cross border workers unable to return home. It came after insults and abusive comments were directed at the Guardia Civil.
The RGP is, notwithstanding the number of RGP officers present at the frontier managing the traffic, unable to substantiate the complaint at this time.
The matter is under investigation. Any member of the public who may be able to assist with information should contact the RGP Control Room on +35020072500.
