At Halloween it's normal to see groups of youths in fancy dress in the street enjoying the fun. However, for a group of Malaga youths, their disguises this year appear to have been the perfect cover for two incognito violent robberies in the city.

According to police, eight youths have been held in connection with the robberies, of which five are minors.

The two attacks are said to have taken place around 9pm in the northern district of Malaga city. In the first incident, a 15-year-old boy was confronted by the masked group who demanded that he hand over his mobile telephone. The boy later needed medical attention as the group then proceeded to assault him when, with the help of someone else in the street, he managed to stop them taking his phone.

The victim of the second incident was a a 13-year-old boy who reported that his phone had been stolen by seemingly the same gang.

Police were called out to scour the area and soon identified a group who matched the description given by the alleged victims. The youths were detained and the stolen mobile phone was found on one of them.
