Irish tourists planning to holiday in Spain this year are being warned about a clever new scam that’s catching people out.
Spanish police arrested two men aged 54 and 60 on Thursday in connection with the con. They are accused of six instances of theft and five cases of fraud, and were caught in Benalmadena - a resort on the Costa del Sol that’s popular with Irish holidaymakers.
It’s understood the pair stole bank cards and money after targeting elderly people and tourists in what’s being dubbed a ‘bird poo scam’.
