Six police uniforms go missing during thriller film shoot in Valencia, Spain
A film crew shooting a suspense thriller in Valencia between 8 June and 15 July reported that six complete Policía Nacional uniforms, rented from a company in a Madrid‑area municipality, vanished from their costume truck. The loss was discovered 32 days after the uniforms were last seen and formally reported to the Valencia police station on 21 July. Authorities said the disappearance raises concerns about potential misuse of the uniforms and are investigating the incident.
