MAN ARRESTED ROBBING PUBLIC PHONE

Local police have arrested a man in the Orihuela Costa following numerous complaints they had received in connection with robberies to telephone booths. The officers surprised a suspect who was caught manipulating a wire into the change slot attempting to remove coins.

As soon as he realised he was being watched by agents the man jumped into his car and drove off. Following a police chase he was eventually caught in San Miguel. He was eventually identified as a 51 year old Ukranian National resident in Los Montesinos.

The police recovered a whole variety of tools from his car connected to this illegal activity.
