Dog rescued from tower by Guardia
Classic translation by the Guardia Civil
Classic. Lenox has a scanned copy of an English language “Crowded by appearence of it denounces” Guardia Civil theft report form over on his site.

Nice to see that the Guardia still don’t faff around when it comes to identifying “race” of people. Black, Arab, Gypsy, Teutonic… all those dodgy swines are there, ready to be ticked off. (No white, I notice).

Lot of Guardia about!
Devil of a lot of Guardia Civil around. Just saw a convoy of 15 brand new 4×4’s racing down the motorway, and there’s a police stop between Los Gallardos & Vera.
Did they spot someone drink driving, or has someone escaped from Almería prision?
Guardia Civil priotities for young citizens
While browsing www.guardiacivil.es (trying to find out what a big red triangle on a guardia´s shoulder means, I´m assuming it doesn´t mean he´s Jewish) I came across “Consejos para los ninos”.
Usual list for kids, don´t accept sweets from strangers, don´t get in strangers cars, wear a seatbelt… and yet, in a striking yellow that stands out the most, it says at the bottom “NEVER BUY ILLEGAL SOFTWARE. NEVER PIRATE SOFTWARE”.

Is this really the most important tip our guardians of the law have for the next generation?
Cops on backroads
Lots and lots and lots and lots of Guardia Civil officers on secondary roads with speed traps. So behave out there over the weekend (back to normal next week).
Or, if you fancy robbing a few houses…. just don’t do it near a secondary road and you’ll be fine.
Falklands part of Argentina, according to Telecinco mapmakers
While watching tonights intriguing interview with Luis Roldan (ex head of the Guardia Civil who made off with a substantial amount of money back in 94) on Telecinco, I noticed that as they coloured in the countries that he was supposed to have fled to, the Falkland Islands were coloured in at the same moment Argentina was. Despite being British.
It’s a good job I’m too lazy to complain!
Mounted police problems in El Ejido
The Guardia Civil recently trialled sending round mounted police to patrol the many greenhouses in the area. This seems to have been a great success, inasmuch as it’s cut crime. So successful that the Guardia have announced their intention to resume patrols later this month.
However, they are a bit miffed that on Friday some joker broke into the police stables, opened the doors and shooed the police horses out into the fields.
It seems it took quite a few officers most of the day to track them all down. No horses were injured, apart from one who got a small scratch. It is rumoured that a new padlock has been brought.
One man crimewave arrested in Almuñécar
A fellow who is 32, and has spent 12 years in jail, has been arrested for over 60 breaking and entering offenses in the Granada town of Almuñécar over the last 6 months. He was released, 6 months ago, from jail and went straight back into crime.
M.A.R.B. has been arrested over 25 times, and has spent 12 years in jail for different robbery offenses. He would break into several flats at a time, stealing any money or valuables lying around, then lie low for a few days.
The Guardia Civil have recovered over €60,000 worth of valuables from his house. He has been identified in these 60 odd robberies by his fingerprints and shoe prints. The file on him is currently running at 1200 sheets of paper, and “shows no sign of stopping its growth”.
The curious case of the stolen drugs
The Guardia Civil lept into action when they received a phone call saying that a man had been hijacked in Adra – as he drove out of a petrol station a car slammed in front of him, and four armed arm bundled him out of the van and drove off.
They found the van in Granada later that day, being driven by a 71 year old man. They proceeded to stop and detain the vehicle. However, when checking the back of the van, they discovered 778 kilos of hachis in the back.
Checking the CCTV of the petrol station, they could see that the drugs were in the van then. So they have also arrested the person who was hijacked.
The Guardia admit they haven’t got to the bottom of the case yet, but think that when the original driver was hijacked, he panicked and called the police in order to be able to tell his bosses that he was doing something to get the drugs back.
