The Guardia Civil in Sevilla arrested a Romanian with ten stolen pigs in his van; he allegedly stole them from a pig farm. Well, he wouldn’t steal them from a poultry farm, would he… Just saying.

Anyway the pigs were dead, which pretty much excludes them from sharing any sentiments on their abduction one way or the other.

The police were carrying out routine controls at a crossroads just outside the town of Valdezorras and had decided to flag the van down. They were pleasantly surprised that as soon as the van pulled to a halt, the driver jumped out and ran off across a field.

He needn’t have bothered because a race between keen, young Guardia Civil policemen and a middle-aged, sedentary Romanian is a foregone conclusion ending in handcuffs.

When they all got back to the van a quick glance at its contents confirmed that the gentleman had been up to no good. His situation did not improved when a check on the vehicle revealed that it had also been stolen.
