The Motril law courts sentenced a woman from Salobreña for the theft of a pair of trousers containing 900 euros. Some further explanation is obviously required.

The 38-year-old woman, M.G.M., went round to a neighbour’s house and asked if the owner could lend her a carton of milk. Taking advantage of the absence of the man whilst he was in the kitchen finding one, she entered into the house and whipped (stole) a pair of trousers without the owner realising.

When he returned to the front door, she wasn’t there, but he didn’t realise that the trousers – and more importantly, the money, was missing at the time.

The woman has been sentenced to a 6-month, suspended sentence and will have to reimburse the man the 900 euros.
