A 49-year-old woman has been arrested – accused of being the hugger-mugger who stole a mobile phone valued at €1,000 from a British tourist in Benidorm.
A National Police spokeswoman revealed on Tuesday morning that an ‘affectionate hug’ had allowed a thief to relieve the Briton of her telephone as she was walking to her hotel.
It was recovered in peculiar circumstances the following morning.
