Must of given the police a back hander to get out of that one surely? 

 

Four West Brom players were interviewed by police after allegedly stealing a taxi from outside a fast-food restaurant in Barcelona on Thursday.

Catalonia police told BBC Sport the players - who have not been named - were interviewed but not arrested after the incident in the early hours.

The Premier League club said it was investigating the incident, which happened during a training trip.

West Brom host Southampton in the FA Cup at 15:00 GMT on Saturday.

Mossos d'Esquadra - the Catalan regional police force - said the four players involved wanted to go out in Barcelona, but found everything closed so took a taxi to a fast-food restaurant.

When they left, at approximately 05:30, it is alleged they took the taxi and drove back to their hotel - without the driver.

Police were alerted by the hotel and taxi driver, who was reunited with his vehicle at about 08:00.

West Brom, who are bottom of the Premier League, have won just one of their past 25 league matches.

The club said it had "instigated its own investigation into the incident" and said the players "will be subject to the full rigours of our internal disciplinary procedures".

It said it would not comment any further on the incident until the investigation is over.
