Spanish police thwarted an attempt to steal half a tonne of olives on the first day of harvest near Seville.

A video posted to social media on Monday, 2 September, showed Guardia Civil officials inspecting buckets of the produce after they prevented the theft of 465 kilos.

Officials added that the recovered olives have now been returned to their rightful owner.
