The Guardia Civil in charge of Motril Port Customs arrested a man trying to transport a stolen car to North Africa; an increasingly frequent kind of incident there.

The young man, a Moroccan resident of Madrid, was charged with handling stolen goods and forging vehicle documentation.

The police unit, the Destacamento Fiscal del Puerto de Motril, intercepted the car as it was preparing to board the Volcán de Tinamar ferry, bound for the Spanish enclave city of Melilla.
