Police catch car seat theft suspect

A MAN has been arrested in Mijas for trying to steal an infant car seat out of a neighbour’s car.

A local man went to the police station in the early hours to report he had seen two suspicious-looking people loitering by his car inside a residential complex garage.

A patrol was sent to the scene, and officers found one of the men trying to get a car-seat out of the back of the vehicle, which they found had broken windows.

Upon identifying the man, the officers discovered he lived nearby and had a record for previous offenses.
