Police issue new alert on timeshare firm (From Banbury Cake): "Police said today that they were continuing to investigate a timeshare firm which has links to Oxfordshire but is based in Spain.
Officers are issuing a renewed warning to timeshare owners not to fall for the scheme, which is being operated by Golden Sands Marketing.
Police said the firm, which gave its correspondence address as Horsefair, Banbury, had been cold-calling people wanting to sell their timeshares, telling them a buyer has been lined up.
Owners are then asked to send an administration fee of £1,000 to proceed with the deal. Some owners have even been invited out to Spain to meet the buyers, which is a ruse to obtain more money.
Thames Valley Police officers have intercepted more than 130 letters sent to the mailbox in Banbury from people who have been duped out of money.
The victims come from across the country including Oxfordshire, Bristol and Northamptonshire. Many of the victims have lost thousands of pounds.
Officers have closed down the mailbox and have been working with the Serious Organised Crime Agency to try to close down the firm’s website, as well as liaising with the authorities in Spain."

Catholic priest in Spain has been arrested over the alleged possession of thousands of images of child sex abuse.
Catholic priest in Spain has been arrested over the alleged possession of thousands of images of child sex abuse.
Police said they found 21,000 images on computers inside the 52-year-old's church in Vilafames, in the east of the country.
The priest, who has not been named, has been bailed and will appear before a judge in a fortnight, media say.
The Segorbe-Castellon diocese said it had suspended the priest and was ready to clarify the facts in court.
"If the accusation is true, this is something that hurts us deeply, that we sincerely regret and that we reject unreservedly," the El Pais newspaper quoted a statement from the diocese as saying.
It said it would also offer the priest "the necessary means for a fair defence".
Spain has largely escaped the child sex abuse scandals that have hit the Catholic Church in many European countries and the US.
But formal accusations have been made against a Carmelite monk in eastern Spain and Franciscan brothers in the south.
Police also launched an investigation in May into three members of staff at a care home run by a Catholic order in Cordoba.
Spain has arrested hundreds of people for distributing child pornography in recent years.
In May, police carried out almost 100 raids across the country after uncovering a network sharing abuse images.
The country's biggest raid was in October 2008, when 121 suspects were detained.

Spanish customs police said Friday they have seized 22 tons of hashish and arrested three Dutch sailors
Spanish customs police said Friday they have seized 22 tons of hashish and arrested three Dutch sailors in an operation they described as the biggest drug haul in a decade and one of the five biggest in its history.
The government credited an air-surveillance operation for the interception, which was launched after customs officials learned that a 40-meter fishing vessel flying a Dutch flag might try to carry a cargo of hashish to Spain from Morocco, the government said in a posting on its website. On Thursday, the plane alerted a patrol boat, which intercepted and boarded the suspect vessel, called the Nancy II, after getting authorization from Dutch government officials.
Once the alleged contraband was discovered, the boat was taken to the Spanish port of Cadiz.

Eight international criminals arrested in Spain: "arrested are the so-called Belgium 'Bonnie and Clyde'
National Police say they have arrested eight international criminals wanted on charges of homicide, drug trafficking, frauds and other crimes including kidnap and people trafficking.
The arrests come thanks to international cooperation with Interpol, Europol and Sirene, and with help from judicial authorities in Belgium, Italy, France, Romania, the Unites States and here in Spain.
Most of the eight were involved in organised crime, including Richard S.P. from the United States who was arrested close to a restaurant in Barcelona Port. He is wanted for fraud and money laundering and defrauded his victims, most of whom were from the U.K., of 127 million dollars selling worthless shares in fictitious companies.
Also among those arrested are a couple known as the Belgium ‘Bonnie and Clyde’ who were wanted for fraud and other charges. Didier G and Patricia K were arrested close to their home in Peñiscola, Castellón.
40 year old Fabrice David N, from France, who jumped prison after a pass, when serving ten years for armed robbery, was arrested in Las Palmas.

first to suffer from police harassment have been the villains of British origin.
first to suffer from police harassment have been the villains of British origin. In just five days, agents specializing in organized crime have traced their points meeting in Marbella, Mijas, Fuengirola, Torremolinos and Benalmadena. 101 identifications have been made, 14 local inspections made, mostly in pubs or bars, and five people arrested.
Those detained include two fugitives sought for drug trafficking in their countries, one wanted by Spanish authorities, and two others who allegedly were involved in selling small quantities of drugs. Such is the case of the waiter and the owner of a pub in Benalmadena. During the inspection of the premises, the officers involved found various doses of marijuana and hashish hidden behind the bar and in the garbage. In addition to arresting them, Police have recommended suspending the trading license of the establishment.
In the opertion are collaborating agents specializing in the fight against drug trafficking and the Special Response Group Organized Crime (Greco), as well as liasions from the British police posted Spain for this operation. "We want to draw the attention of the bad guys who think that the Costa del Sol is the perfect hideaway and remind them that we are monitoring them closely" said a police commander.
The operation, named Cardhu, has been ongoing since the 24th October. Although the first phase was aimed specifically at British criminals, the operation is not over. Forthcoming operations focus on meeting places for fugitives from other countries, police said.
The fact that the campaign has begun by targetting British citizens is significant. 25% of registered foreigners in the area are from the UK, according to data from 2009 - and, recently, violent incidents involving them are on the up, mainly due to fall outs over the lucrative drugs trade.
The Costa del Sol is also a favorite haunt of Irish criminals, especially those who are quickly becoming drug barons. These criminals are taking center stage in the drug trade and creating infrastructure in Málaga, and establishing contact with Moroccan traffickers.
Between 2008 and 2009, three drug lords died in settling of scores. The gangs have hired people in the Costa del Sol, and when they need to settle scores, they do so in the same area. Police cited the example of the death on 21 April, of a 32 year old British man gunned down in his apartment in Benalmadena following an abortive attempt to "rip off" his local drugs baron
