Two alleged burglars in Spain took an unusual approach while attempting to break into a hospitality business in Campo de Criptana, Ciudad Real province. The pair entered the establishment during the night and were found hiding behind the bar, where they were also carrying bags with products from the premises. When Guardia Civil officers arrived at the scene, they discovered that one of the suspects had covered his hands in socks, an apparent attempt to avoid leaving fingerprints.
Despite this unusual precaution, the pair was caught and arrested before they could escape. The burglars were later handed over to the court in Alcázar de San Juan, where both were remanded in custody. The court's decision reflects the fact that attempting to conceal fingerprints is not an effective method, particularly when suspects are discovered hiding inside the premises they allegedly broke into.
