'Robin Hood' raid activists arrested in Spain

Police in Spain have arrested five left-wing union activists for their alleged role in a “Robin Hood”-style looting of a supermarket made to highlight the plight of people suffering through the country’s recession.

The southern Andalusian Workers’ Union made news on Tuesday when a handful of its activists made off with nine trolleys full of food from a supermarket in the southern town of Ecija and left without paying.
