POLICE said four thieves have been arrested because they left a trail of rice from a raid on a warehouse in Bacolod in the central Philippines.
The men took a television set and assorted groceries including four sacks of rice.

They did not spot grain spilling through a hole in one of them, which led police to their house about 500 yards from the warehouse.
