Police crack down on foreigners' crime on the Costa del Sol: "206 foreign criminals have been arrested over the past year in Málaga province. In total the UDYCO specialist crime unit made 407 arrests last year, 104 more than in 2008.
It’s a 34% jump in the number of detentions and police say that is thanks to a new strategy which has seen a more selective control on international criminal networks that have looked to lie low on the Costa del Sol.
La Opinion de Málaga reports that Colombians have taken over the first place in the criminal league here, from the Moroccans and the British, and police say that those arrested are ever-more violent and better armed and equipped.
The nationalities of those arrested in 2009 were
Colombians – 37
Moroccans – 30
British – 24
French – 19
Romanian – 17
Italian – 12."
