The head of the Algarve’s traders association, ACRAL, has asked for an urgent discussion with Olhão police commander Jorge Domingues to "share and verify the feasibility of a set of ideas from the association to fight and reduce the wave of robberies and incidents of vandalism in the commercial streets of the historic centre."
The president of the association of traders, Álvaro Viegas, expressed his concerns to commander Domingues over “recent events recorded in the commercial downtown Olhão, where many shops have been vandalised and robbed."
