Police have arrested a suspected paedophile in Jaén thanks to a collection of videos handed over by a thief who burgled his house.
Three video tapes featuring sexual acts with children around the age of ten were handed over by the burglar, the Interior Ministry said in a statement today.
The burglar called 091 from a public telephone to tell police that he had left the video evidence underneath a car together with an anonymous note giving the alleged paedophile's address.
The suspect works as a trainer for a five-a-side football team, giving him easy access to young children.
"I have had the misfortune to come into possession of these tapes and feel obliged to hand them over and let you do your job, so that you can lock this... up for life", said the burglar in his declaration.
So far four victims of sexual abuse have been identified, including a 16-year-old girl who has been subjected to the abuse since the age of ten.
