Eight people have been arrested in Bollullos de la Mitación, Sevilla, on charges of stealing large chunks of iron from the structure of warehouses.
A police patrol at the junction of the A-8055 and A-8054 spotted a vehicle performing a dangerous manoeuvre and decided to follow it. They tracked it to a disused industrial area where they saw that a number of iron roof support pillars had been cut from the warehouses and were scattered on the ground.
The police also found ladders and tools which appeared to have been hastily abandoned as well as three vans loaded with thousands of kilos of iron. The area was sealed and the police eventually found eight people hiding in the area. The suspects admitted to stealing the metal.
