Trouble Update

Further to the post regarding the trouble between English and Spanish teenagers, it now transpires that a gang of English teenagers were roaming the Park in the early hours of the morning, when a Spanish Gentleman of about 40 years of age, came out to see what they were doing. He was hit over the head with a bottle by one of the teenagers. He is seriously injured in hospital, he has been transferred from Torrevieja hospital to a hospital in Madrid. Reports indicate that it will be several months before his recovery is complete. Two English teenagers are in Police custody regarding the incident.

I am sure all of you would join me in expressing our deep regret for this cowardly and disgusting behaviour, to the Gentleman concerned and his family. Hopefully he will make a speedy and full recovery.

The Guardia Civil have said the Parents of any under-age children who are caught drinking or under the influence of alcohol are likely to be subject to a 6000 Euro fine and/or 3 days in Prison.
