A MAN from Galicia who warned his contacts via WhatsApp where speed controls were being carried out has been arrested.
He is said to have given full details of where traffic police were due to be stationed and where portable cameras were being set up out of sight, given the exact locations and times.
The information would only have been available to officers themselves when given their work rota, leading them to believe an insider within the force had tipped off the social network user.
A photo of the day’s rota was included in the message, as well as the names and numbers of the police officers who would be carrying out the speed checks.
After being taken into custody and giving a statement, the accused was released pending further investigations.
He has not been formally charged, but if found guilty, would be in breach of the law covering revelation of State secrets.
