In his report the Local Police chief points out that it is “a priority to avoid forceful arrests or actions that can scare people away”, as well as any other “dis- proportionate action that could lead to reproach from passers-by” and put citizen safety at risk. Back in March local business owners called a meeting to tackle the problem in Torremolinos and Benalmádena, which was attended by both mayors and representatives of the Local and National Police forces. “It was useless because they never put into action any of the measures we called for,” said the president of the Benalmádena Traders Association ACEB, Rosa María González, who says she is “indignant” at the impunity with which illegal trading grows every year on the Costa del Sol. “This summer I’ve received more than 500 photographs of these hawkers taken by local traders, because a lot of them are sick of them standing right in front of their shops.

The three officers were outnumbered and a large part of the contraband was snatched back. Behind the illegal hawkers are several mafia-style organisations that supply the goods, the majority of them fakes, stored on industrial es- tates.
