A Guardia Civil spokesman told the Olive Press today: “Officers found the wild boar roaming around Los Boliches at 7pm on Saturday.

“We tried to contact several zoos and animal parks but none had the necessary capabilities to carry out a capture and re-release.

“With the help of locals police officers encircled the boar before shooting it.”
