The convoy looked like something out of a movie, but it was real. A lorry driving at a moderate speed through an urban area with up to eight Guardia Civil patrols behind it. No, they were not escorting it. They were following it because the vehicle had been reported stolen.
The incident happened on 9 December, when, according to SUR sources, the lorry was stolen from the Malaga transport centre (CTM) in Campanillas. The alleged thief then fled in the direction of the province of Granada.
After the theft was reported, the operational services centre (COS) of the Guardia Civil alerted all units deployed on the road. Given the size of the vehicle, it was not difficult to locate it.
However, this did not stop the driver from continuing to flee, a journey which lasted 130 kilometres to the town of Escúzar, in the province of Granada. Along the way, the vehicle was joined by several patrol cars, which followed him at a prudent speed so as not to endanger other road users.
Apparently, when the alleged thief saw that he had no chance of escaping with the stolen lorry, he abandoned the vehicle and tried to flee on foot, but the pursuing officers managed to catch and arrest him.
