Weapons seized Fueling up

A MALLORCA man accused of stealing 2000 litres of petrol on 13 separate occasions has been arrested. The 35-year-old allegedly targeted trucks and transport vans parked at warehouses in the Marratxi and Santa María industrial estates in Palma. Truck drivers would refuel, park overnight and return in the morning to empty tanks.

At the time of the man’s capture police found 20 drums of diesel in his vehicle, as well as tools and hoses to suck fuel from vehicles.

FAITH IN PALOMA... TO AVOID ‘NUL’ POINTS

SINGER Blanca Paloma will represent Spain at the next Eurovision contest in Liverpool after triumphing at the week-long Benidorm Fest.

The 34-year-old from Elche won the final with her song Eaea - a special take on flamenco composed in tribute to her grand- mother, Carmen.

Paloma said: “Folklore is universal and there is something in the essence of it that is understandable to everyone.”

It’s a leap of faith for Spain, as the last time it picked a flamenco-based song back in 1984, it got zero points.
