New footage has emerged of tourists being targeted in Benidorm’s infamous ‘muggers alley’.
In a short clip shared online, a woman can be seen talking to a man as he attempts to walk back to his hotel.
Four other women are then seen running across the street to join in on her harassment campaign.
The women repeatedly touch the men without their consent, forcing them to push the strangers away.
But they do not give up, as they continue trying to distract their targets, even holding on to them and stopping them outside the entrance to their hotel.

At one moment, four of the women are seen forming a circle around one elderly men before he is forced to push through them.
The Policia Nacional previously told the Spanish Eye that it has received multiple reports from victims and has ‘intervened and arrested the perpetrators several times.’
It added: ‘As a preventative measure, continuous patrols are carried out in this area, as well as throughout the rest of the town, to prevent the commission of this crime.’
It then listed several key bits of advice for tourists coming to Benidorm.
The force said: ‘Always keep an eye on your personal belongings, especially in crowded areas.
‘Do NOT keep cell phones or wallets in back pockets or easily accessible areas.
‘Be wary of strangers who approach you with vague excuses or exaggerated gestures.
‘In the event of a robbery, do not confront the offender directly and notify the police immediately.
‘Write down the IMEI (serial) number of your device to facilitate its recovery in case of theft.’
