Image of man leaning into boot of a car on a street in northern Spain helps lead police to make two arrests
On a nearly deserted street in northern Spain, the images appeared to show a man hunched over the back of a red Rover car, gingerly loading a bulky white sack into the boot.
A passing Google Maps camera car happened to snap the suspicious moment as it unfolded in the hamlet of Tajueco in October. Two months later, police have cited the image – which continues to appear on Google Maps – and others snapped by the camera car as clues that helped lead to the arrests of two people after the disappearance of a man last year.
