The four Colombian owners of a shop in El Raal, Murcia, have been arrested after kidnapping four Spanish individuals who they found robbing the interior of their business.

The owners of the shop threatened their captured thieves with torture, held them for three hours, and then forced them to take money out of a bank before releasing them. The shop owners did not call the police.

A press release from the Civil Guard says that both the Colombian owners and the Spanish thieves have been arrested. All will appear before the instruction court in Murcia shortly.
