Two squatters arrested after hiring locksmith to gain access to a Torremolinos property

Police were called after a neighbour told police that the flat was being squatted. The owner, who had been living there for six months, told officers while he was away two people had entered his house illegally and were preventing him from accessing his flat.

The police interviewed the locksmith, who told them that a man and a woman had hired his services to open a door. They allegedly told him that the lock was broken. The locksmith said he had no idea that the detainees were not the legitimate occupants of the flat.
