Poor Choice of Vehicle

A 21-year-old man has been arrested for stealing a Guardia Civil policeman’s private car and using it on a robbery. The thief used the car to transport material stolen from a lorry; two palettes of milk.

It isn’t that much fun being a Guardia Civil policeman – fining motorists aside – because one of them was attacked for telling a drug addict off for injecting himself in the street.

Missed Booty

A builder was having a coffee in a small bar in Colomera with some friends when he decided to go to the toilet, but absentmindedly left his wallet on the counter – so far, not good. Moments later another local from the town came in, saw the wallet, picked it up and exited rapidly.

A small hamlet near Pinos Puente, Granada, was the scene of tragic deaths: a 77-year-old man and his 76-year-old, disabled wife made a suicide pact, so as not to become a burden on their children.

Bogus Construction Company

The Guardia Civil has arrested a man in Pinos Puentes (near Granada) for allegedly charging 24,000 euros for a series of construction jobs that were never carried out.
