The Policía Local in Motril have arrested an Almuñécar man in his 30s, suspected of stealing a woman’s handbag.
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 thief owed his capture to a tell-tale trail of frying oil, leaking from the deep fat fryer that he had stolen, all the way to his own house.
