Paella thieves led police to their home with trail of rice, seafood and chicken

Three supermarket thieves in France were caught after they left a trail of rice, seafood and chicken from their stolen paella that led police to their home.

They had grabbed an eight kilo dish of paella worth €150 (£105, $155) from a store in Nantes before running out into the street at about 8.30pm on Thursday.



Police were called in and searched the neighbourhood for the shoplifters. During their patrol the officers came across rice, seafood and pieces of chicken outside an apartment building. They followed the trail inside to one of the flats.

Once inside they discovered the three intoxicated men, enjoying their purloined dinner. The thieves had little choice but to admit their guilt. The store are pressing charges and the investigation is ongoing.
