A man shared a bizarre video where he demanded five barrels of booze after he stole a valuable handkerchief.
The man, whose identity is not known, disguised himself in the video as he wore a large coat and covered his face.
He distorted his voice in the clip, and held a knife in his hand as he demanded five bottles of calimocho in exchange for the handkerchief.

Calimocho is a Spanish cocktail made with red wine and cola.
The Civil Guard released the video, which has attracted 28,200 views, and the man has since been arrested.
He had stolen a handkerchief worth over £500 which was owned by the Virgin of the Viñas Brotherhood – the patron saint of the Spanish city, Ciudad Real.
During the 2023 pilgrimage, the item was exposed on a statue of an Osbourne bull in the area of Tomelloso, and the man stole it without being detected.
Although the theft occurred more than a year ago, it was not until recently when the incident progressed, as reported by Need To Know.
The man shared his bizarre video online which triggered police to move quickly on the investigation.
They were able to collect evidence which allowed them to identify the person responsible for the stolen handkerchief.
This month, he was arrested and admitted to being the author of the video, and to stealing the item.
According to police, he showed regret for his actions.
The Civil Guard announced the man’s arrest on 16 April.
They said: “It might seem like a comedy script, but it ended in arrest.
“A man stole the typical herbal handkerchief exhibited in a video disguised, with a distorted voice and knife in hand, demanding five bottles of calimocho in exchange.
“Very cinematic, but real. And with a serious ending.”
