SUN & STRIFE Brits in Spain warned to watch out for violent criminals as sport stars robbed
BRITS in Spain have been urged to watch out for violent criminals targeting popular holiday hotspots.
“I was walking in Botafoch Marina in front of the Ibiza Gran Hotel with my wife and my two children at 3.15 in the afternoon. Saying the motorbike rider had tried to run his wife over, the footballer added: “Obviously the most important thing is that my family and I are okay. He went on to claim he had received no help from onlookers, warning tourists: “If you’re thinking of coming to Ibiza, be careful about what you wear, because of the way things are here, as you can experience a very unpleasant moment.”The 32-year-old said how he and his girlfriend were targeted in a car park at Barcelona Airport.
He added: ”We went to report the crime to the airport police. We’d come from Paris which we know is dangerous and where you have to have your wits about you, but in an airport with so many cameras I would never have imagined this sort of thing was so common in Barcelona.“I wanted to do this video to be able to alert people who are in Barcelona so this doesn’t happen to them.”
Footage showed the moped rider approaching the driver’s window before his accomplice, who got off the vehicle as they prepared to pounce, rushed over to complete the snatch with his motorcycle helmet still on his head.
