It was registered to a company in Almeria that does house clearance and the worker was promptly sacked.
What’s more, he was ordered to pay a fine of €45,000 and then told to return to the scene, recover the fridge and dispose of it properly.
Officers posted a video of the man struggling to haul the fridge back up the steep slope to the roadside.
