- The detainee was carrying out dangerous maneuvers with a vehicle in the Plaza de la Paz and fled to the neighboring town after the officers stopped
- Agents of the National Police and Oriolana Local Police also participated in the persecution, who collaborated in the arrest
The Local Police of Redován has reported the arrest, last Saturday, of a minor in Orihuela, accused of a crime against road safety. The now arrested man, who was carrying out dangerous maneuvers in the Plaza de la Paz in Redován with a vehicle without the regulatory lights, fled with a companion in the passenger seat when, before the telephone warning of a neighbor, the agents appeared to control the situation.
From that moment on, a police chase began through several streets of Redován, in which the driver recklessly skipped several crossroads and stop signs and carried out various maneuvers to threaten a collision with the police vehicle. The minor continued his flight out of the municipality, at first on CV-919 and later on CV-91 in the direction of Orihuela, circulating on several occasions in the left lane and forcing drivers who came in the opposite direction to avoid him to avoid any kind of accident.
At the entrance to the town, in the Los Huertos area, the vehicle stopped abruptly, giving the impression of having broken down. After informing both the National Police Corps and the Orihuela Local Police, a patrol car of the latter tried to cut him off. It is at this time that the driver’s companion, who has not been able to be identified, got out of the vehicle and fled. After the violent struggle with an agent of the Local Police of Redován, who entered through the passenger door to proceed to arrest the minor, he got out of the vehicle to continue his flight, starting a new chase on foot which was joined by two Oriolana police officers.
The minor was attacked by the three agents inside the ‘Los Huertos’ compound, where he was reduced and arrested. Faced with the strong resistance of the detainee, both himself and one of the agents, belonging to the Redován Police Force, found themselves in need of receiving medical attention at the Álvarez de la Riva health center in Orihuela due to minor injuries. Likewise, the vehicle, owned by the father of the detainee, was transferred to the municipal depot in Callosa de Segura.
The Councilor for Citizen Security, Adrián Ballester, thanked the agents for their actions, “whose work and dedication is patent and is essential to keep the streets of Redován safe every day.” This is the third arrest made by municipal agents in the last two weeks, which “shows the professionalism of our police force, which shows evident results in the face of the reinforcement of the surveillance that has been carried out in the town during the last weeks ”.

The mayor of Redován, Nely Ruiz, together with the councilor for Municipal Services, Ramón López, the mayor of Urban Planning, José Nájar and technicians from the Hidraqua company, visited this morning the works to improve the drinking water supply network. These actions are being carried out with the aim of improving the pressures, the quality of the service in some sections of the municipality’s network, increasing the efficiency of the networks and reducing water cuts for fault repair. The total amount of the first phase of execution amounts to 450,604 euros.
This week it is expected that the performances in Jesús Jordá and Seis de Diciembre streets will be concluded. Once this first phase is completed, work will continue on the second section of Calle 6 de Diciembre and Seminarista Ballesta, Calderón de la Barca and Calle La Paz. Specifically, works have been carried out to replace the old connections where deficiencies related to the presence of obsolete materials such as lead pipes, the poor state of conservation of the pipes and also the absence of shut-off valves and registration elements were detected. . All these problems directly affect an increase in leaks in the drinking water distribution network. The proposed works involve the renovation of 347 household connections and have a 4-month execution period and a budget of 189,970 euros. A total of 180 connections have already been renovated.
To carry out these actions, it is necessary to carry out supply cuts that affect the subscribers of the drinking water service, since it is essential for the disconnection of the old connections and the connection of the new ones. These cuts are made on a scheduled basis to minimize inconvenience to neighbors. In addition, the suspension of supply is notified in advance through an SMS alert and by social networks.
Due to the significant inconvenience for users, the City Council of Redován and Hidraqua have adopted the measure of making power cuts at night, starting at 23:00, so that the condition for subscribers is minimal . In this sense, to solve a historical problem such as general water cuts, due to the lack of cut-off valves, valves are being installed to isolate different areas of the urban area. This has already been verified in the works carried out on July 22, when a sector of the urban area could be isolated.
Another of the actions carried out has been the replacement of pipes and renewal of the drinking water network of the Camino del Motor. The network has been completely renovated with 850 linear meters of new high-density polyethylene distribution pipes and the renovation of existing household connections.
The Mayor of Redován, Nely Ruiz, explained that “it is very important works for the municipality, because it is a historical demand, since an integral action of this type has never been carried out to renew the supply network.” The first mayor has assured that “we have worked to minimize the impact of the works on the day to day of the neighbors, such as scheduling the outages at night, since we want to provide a solution and improve the quality of life of our citizens.”

The Ordinary Plenum of the Redován City Council, held yesterday, gave the green light to the beginning of the file for the contracting of the public service for the collection of urban solid waste and street cleaning in the municipality of Redován, with the aim of improving this public service to the citizenship. This was announced by the mayor of the town, Nely Ruiz and the Councilor for Contracting, José Nájar.
These are two services that were awarded in 2003, with laws and specifications that “have not allowed room to demand improvement and are currently obsolete and do not cover the needs of our municipality,” Nájar explained. The mayor argues that for almost 18 years the population of Redován has also grown from 5,956 inhabitants that year to 7,869 today.
The head of the municipal Procurement area has ensured that the two services will be tendered in the same procedure and that once the file has started, a specialized office will be in charge of preparing the specifications and the exploitation project that must comply with the winning company. Likewise, at the contracting table there will be the presence of technicians from the Alicante Provincial Council, while once awarded, the contract will be audited by an external agent during its execution.
The Redován City Council wants to incorporate state-of-the-art technology into this service as well as the most environmentally friendly methods. Therefore, the collection of the organic fraction separated from the rest of the waste will be included through the implantation of the brown container in the streets of the municipality. “We will be one of the first municipalities in the Vega Baja that incorporates this legal and environmental requirement in a contract,” said the mayor, who added that “our goal is to have a modern system and the best technological systems to provide a effective and quick response to all needs ”. Regarding the improvements to the contract, the increase in the frequency of garbage collection will be included, as well as the number of containers.
Another point to highlight are the containers for household goods. “In Redován we know the importance of the collection of belongings and that is why we are going to try to increase the containers and also the collection days”, explained Nájar, who added that “there will also be interesting advances in terms of technology, since we want the containers to have sensors or vehicles to incorporate GPS so that they are geolocated and the City Council has access to the state of how the service is being provided thanks to the digitization of this public service ”.
As for the hourly frequency of the collection of waste “we want to highlight that we are going to change the schedule so that it is in the morning, so that the neighbors are disturbed as little as possible”, the mayor of Contracting has pointed out.
For her part, the mayor, Nely Ruiz, explained that “this is one of the most important contracts to be tendered in this legislature and we believe that it is very necessary, in the first place, because the one we have is obsolete and, secondly, we want to improve the quality of life of our neighbors and make it a committed contract with the environment and with improvements aimed at respecting it ”. The first mayor has recalled that Redován has grown a lot in the last 20 years. “With nearly 8,000 inhabitants, and the services must be in accordance with the population and size of Redován, we have two neighborhoods, countryside areas, etc., and we need a service that is optimal and adapted to the needs of our people” .
As for street cleaning, “we want all urban areas of Redován to be attended to and for this the personnel assigned to the service will be increased,” explained the mayor, who added that “there will also be street washdown cleaning , electric blowers and new vehicles with the latest technology ”.
Lastly, the first mayor has stated that “we want a cleaner and more environmentally friendly Redován, that is why we are going to work with all the parties of the corporation, we are going to hold a citizen assembly to publicize the new contract and we will have meetings with all political groups so that they can participate in this process ”.
