45-year-old man was arrested at Alicante port yesterday after around a thousand brand new mobile phones, which police believe may have been stolen, were found in the back of a van with fake British plates. Apart from the phones, dozens of replica display phones, external memory sticks, computer games as well as digital sound and image devices were found, leading police to conclude that they may have been stolen from at least one computer or mobile phone shop. The man, whose nationality has not been confirmed, was detained as he was about to board a ferry to Oran in Algeria.
The Spanish National Police have requested assistance from their counterparts in France and the UK to identify the van and to ascertain if there have been any reported robberies recently involving digital equipment suppliers.
