Kidnapped Spanish man rescued using photo of steering wheel

Man sent coordinates and photo of steering wheel to his girlfriend allowing officers to locate car and rescue him

Spanish police have rescued a man who was kidnapped and bundled into the boot of a car after he managed to alert his girlfriend by sending her a photo of the vehicle's steering wheel and a set of coordinates.

On 23 January Policia Nacional officers in the Andalucian province of Malaga received a report that a man had been kidnapped two days earlier on the promenade of the town of Sabinillas. The man had been taken by a group of men travelling in two cars who were looking for information on the whereabouts of a third man who had apparently swindled them out of 30,000 (25,000) in a drug deal.
