THE POLICIA NACIONAL in Barcelona have arrested two men who stole two high-end watches from tourists in Ibiza.

A holidaymaker filed a complaint last Sunday after he had his €70,000 watch wrenched off him in the Marina Botafoch area of the island.

A man approached from behind and ran off after grabbing the watch and then jumped onto a motorcycle with a rider already waiting for him.

Police discovered that a similar incident happened the previous day but the victim did not report the incident.

In that case, he was inside his convertible vehicle parked in Marina Botafoch and had a similar brand of watch snatched off him.
