In response to widespread robberies and looting following deadly floods in Paiporta, Spain, locals took to the streets for vigilante patrols on the night of November 4. The floods, which have left at least 217 dead and caused significant destruction, have sparked public outrage over the perceived slow response from authorities. With many streets still dark and hazardous, residents expressed frustration and stepped in where they felt police were lacking. While the national police reported 20 arrests related to thefts, locals emphasized that their intent was not to physically confront thieves but to protect their community.
