Good Afternoon
Has anybody heard about the muggings in the Benijofar area, close to the Mercadona ? Just wondering if there is a description of the culprit !
Last week we were kindly warned by a cafe owner of bag snatchers on Benijofar high street, sounds like the area is being targeted .

Benijófar and Quesada have long been hot beds for such activities, more so when the tourists are about with their situational awareness left in the overhead locker on the plane they arrived on!
Stay alert, don't be their next victim.

Yes I see it around quesada and surrounding areas. People sitting with dags on the floor or on the back of thier chair easy targets. Only Friday went passed don Carlos and woman's bag on the floor and she was nowhere to be seen. Just be sensible and keep eye open

Cant speak for Quesada, but Benijofar has only had 6 reported mugging/bag thefts in the last 18 months. (my neighbour is in the local police)
Not quite a hotbed.

Think a lot go unreported, it's too much hassle

The bag snatchers were by The Wok in Benimar the other day , they did 2 there and 1 at Studs bar and another somewhere else in the area on the same day. They cut the straps off the bags ! Two women and two men in a small white car J reg. Reports of the same gang the next day in Los Montesinos .
Hopefully they will be caught soon .
