BUNGLED ROBBERY SEES FOUR BRITS ARRESTED | Costa Blanca | Leader - News, Sport, Advertising, Property, Classifieds - Costa Blanca, Costa del Sol, Costa Calida, Costa de Almeria, Spain: "Four Britons, residents of Javea, were arrested on Tuesday, following a bungled attempt at a bank robbery in Benissa which they tried to break into with large rocks and a sledgehamer.
The attempt took place at the Ruralcaixa on Tuesday mer. afternoon and although the bank was closed at the time there were members of staff still on the premises, filling cash dispensers as the attempted robbery took place.
It would appear that police were aware of the gang which they had under surveillance at the time. One arrest was made at the scene while one man was grabbed as he attempted to get away. The two men that made good their escape were caught later that same day at the Safor motorway toll.
Two of the robbers were the subject of extradition proceedings. All four robbers were later taken to Alicante where they remain in police custody. It is thought that two men who were involved in the plotting of the robbery are still at large."
