The images show the holidaymaker’s arms and legs covered in deep bruises and scratches.

William said: ‘Please can I advise people to be careful around the Dynastic Hotel area.

‘My son was mugged and had his phone stolen. They emptied his bank account of £1650.

‘All he can remember is that there was two of them. And they drive a white ford Fiesta.’

Fellow travellers reacted to the post to say they have also fallen prey to robbers in Benidorm.

John Clarke said: ‘I had my Rolex snatched from my wrist in 2022, 1am in morning with my partner, returning to our apartment, French-speaking Moroccan guy, seemed friendly, then grabbed my wrist, watch gone in seconds. Reported to Police, but heard nothing.’

Another said: ‘My father just returned home from benidorm, he interrupted a robbery in the floor below him.

‘Police came and wouldn’t even look at the apartment because the owners needed to report it, they told him.’
