A HUGGER mugger robber wanted by over 20 courts across Spain has been arrested in Alicante.

The 25-year-old Romanian woman was part of a travelling robbery gang specialised in love-hug assaults. Her gang mainly targeted elderly people or tourists and then put them in a bear hug while ripping off watches and jewellery or pinching a wallet and purses.

Alongside the Policia Nacional, officers launched a surveillance operation, which bore fruit when a van was spotted approaching the yacht club. The vehicle parked up next to the 18-metre long luxury yacht and several people unloaded bales of hashish into the van.

A further 52 bales were found on the boat.
