Owner of 8,800 robbed bottles of beer found
He had filed a complaint with Spain's Guàrdia Civil after being robbed in rest area in southern Catalonia

The Catalan Mossos d'Esquadra police found the owner of 8,800 bottles of beer found in an abandoned truck on July 1 at the AP-2 highway in Vinaixa, southern-central Catalonia.
Police had reported that they were looking for the owner of 370 boxes of Coronita beer after finding them in a damaged truck.
The driver of the truck was nowhere to be seen, and the vehicle was damaged.
After reading in the news that the police were looking for the owner of the beers, the person responsible for a transport company contacted the Mossos d'Esquadra police station in Borges Blanques. He had warned the Spanish Guàrdia Civil police after being robbed in a rest area near Montblanc, just 20 kilometers away from where the truck was found.
Mossos had already expected the beers to have been stolen from a delivery. The boxes were carried around individually and disorganized, making them believe it was part of a robbery. Perpetrators would have been forced to leave the beer behind after the truck broke down.
Law enforcement agents run into three individuals, alleged thieves, a few kilometers away from the truck. Two of them are repeat offenders for similar robberies. All of them inside a van, and near another car with another destroyed tire.
The three alleged thieves denied having any relation to the beer bottles, although the van had several cutters and cutting tools.
