Five Dutch youngsters have been arrested for allegedly vandalizing street accessories (benches & litter bins etc) in Motril. Locals alerted the police to say that the youths, four of whom were minors, were damaging litter bins and emptying the contents onto the paseo.

When the police turned up, the gang tried to hide behind the Proteccion Civil hut, but to no avail. The police say that they showed signs of being drunk.

When the police set about identifying them, they soon discovered that they were from Holland and were on holiday here, although the police were unable to contact their families
