A woman accused of several so-called ‘hugger muggings’ of elderly people in Pilar de la Horadada has been arrested by the Guardia Civil.

The street robberies involved a woman approaching elderly men to start a conversation or ask a question, and at the same time stroking or hugging them as a distraction in order to steal any valuables on their person without them noticing, explained a spokesman for the force.

That’s always gone on. At onetime it was a man and woman. Who would target people a bit worse for wear through drink… nice to hear someone has been caught and dealt with..

Hopefully its the woman who hugged and mugged me and stole my Mums necklace. Any idea which police station took her?
