BEWARE: Thieves in La Marina
Legendary helpful member
Morning all,
Sadly, one of my friends has had her purse stolen in Mercadona at La Marina and then €1,200 taken from her account at 2 cashponts on the urb.
Fortunately, the Guardia have obtained CCTV of the thief at both cashpoints used and also at the bins behind a local bar, where he dumped the cards, so hopefully an arrest will be made soon.
In the meantime, please be very careful when out shopping, especially ladies shopping on your own. When entering your pin number in card machines, please be aware of everyone around you, zip up your handbag before putting it over your shoulder, don't be tempted to put it on the front seat of your car, while you're loading the boot. Apologies, I know this is all common sense, but it only takes one slip of your guard and some scumbag will take advantage, especially if they've targeted you long before they commit their crime.
Take care everyone,
Kim
