The Seville City Council has fitted tracking devices to several Cuban palm trees on Aeronáutica Avenue, in Sevilla Este, so they can be located if they are stolen again.
The measure, which municipal sources say is a first in Spain, comes after the disappearance of around ten trees, an incident already under investigation by the National Police.
The palm trees, a species in the Arecaceae family that is highly valued for ornamental use, cost approximately 500 euros each, including their purchase, planting and adaptation to the urban environment.
