The theives are now being extradicted and the couple have their car back after being recognised on the beach in Guardamar.

Sometimes it a very small world. A Belgian couple who had their car stolen at gunpoint in Belgium some months ago could not believe it when they recognised their attackers when on holiday in Alicante. They saw them on the beach in Guardamar, Alicante last Monday, and made no hesitation in calling the Spanish police.

While they were waiting for the police to arrive, the couple found their own car parked nearby, and the owner decided to puncture the tyres to ensure that the thieves could not take it again.
After the police arrived a search of the car revealed a simulated pistol.

The two men, 47 year old L.J. and 20 year old G.C.D., were taken into custody and it’s now known that there was an international search and capture order in force against them. One of them has served time for serious sexual crimes against children. They have now both been passed to the National Court ahead of being extradited to Belgium

A small world indeed!

What are the chances of something like this happening.... so slim as near on impossible, I'd guess!

Good to read a story with a happy ending for a change... even if it is only about a car! lol
