BENIDORM police have arrested a robber who attacked a British resident and stole his bank cards and an expensive watch.
The 32-year-old Romanian assailant then used the pilfered bank cards to rack up €778 of fraudulent purchases.
The British expat was attacked on June 8 when he was about to enter his apartment block.
The robber lunged at him and a struggle ensued between the two men.
He stole four bank cards; a smart watch worth €1,250; a mobile phone; and €25 in cash.
The thief immediately went on a shopping spree in local shops before the victim could cancel the cards.
The British resident reported the crime to the Benidorm Policia Local who identified and then arrested the perpetrator.
