Benidorm police issue statement after man arrested for 'fleeing hotels without paying bills'

A 50-year-old Icelandic man was arrested in Benidorm, Spain, on allegations of fraud after spending 10 days in the city without paying for his food and accommodation, reportedly accumulating debts of around £1,300. The local police shared details of the arrest on Instagram, humorously warning tourists against attempting similar actions. Authorities stated that the man was apprehended after being involved in multiple incidents across different locations. In addition, a British resident living in Benidorm for 13 years highlighted a recent scam occurring in the area, where individuals approached pedestrians with clipboards asking them to sign petitions and donate money, falsely claiming it was for charitable causes such as supporting the blind or disabled. This scam has affected some visitors, prompting warnings and advice from locals.
