A gang of Romanians who posed as policemen have been arrested in Tenerife

A gang of Romanians who posed as policemen to rob tourists have been arrested in Tenerife.

The modus operandi of the men consisted of an elaborate hoax in which the 'policemen' questioned the tourists about a drug dealer who had stopped them shortly before to ask directions. The tourists had to hand over their wallets or purses so the fake officers could check if they were carrying small amounts of drugs and during the confusion the Romanians stole cash and credit cards. The gang is thought to have carried out the scam on several dozen holidaymakers in various parts of the island.

this thread just reiterates that there is crime everywhere and helps people to be more careful when out for a stroll on their jollys.

If you live on an island where your biggest "industry" is tourism, yes you should deal with this sort of thing very harshly otherwise like a bath which you don't keep clean, the scum just spreads till it takes over.
