Report crime in Marbella

(Marbella)

The province of Malaga is launching a new system for foreign tourists who need to report crimes to the Spanish police. The National Police is offering the Servicio de Atención al Turista Extranjero (SATE - Foreign Tourist Attention Service) to visitors of the city who need to report crimes as well as receive psychological attention when necessary. The service also helps foreigners cancel their credit cards.

Although the service is intended to aid foreigners who don´t speak Spanish it is also open to Spanish visitors.

The SATE headquarters are located in Málaga, however each National Police Station on the Costa del Sol has specialized staff available to help.

If you need to report a crime call 902 102 112 or visit the website www.policia.es. Reports can be made in several languages. You may also anonymously report any crime by sending an email to malagacostadelsol@policia.es.

CC TV
by: Sian Newman

The main problem being that many of the bar owners do not want CC Tv in the Port.A recent vote had them voting down the notion! Also the port has its own security and the police have to be called in, often too late by then

Excellent News
by: Macklet

I think that things like this can only benefit Marbella and the Costa del Sol in general. If people are aware that there are services that help them in their own language,it encourages people to visit.
So thumbs up to the police and I think that this will be extremely well supported.

Crime jn Puerto Banus
by: Anonymous

On my first trip to Puerto Banus,12 hours in i was mugged and robbed,throttled from behind and made uncontious.My wallet with money and cards watch and jewelery were taken,I was left bruised and bloody and shocked,no one came to help.i managed to return to my friends apartment, whom i had been seperated from early.I recommend nobody to be alone after dark.I was also surprised by the lack of english speaking people in the hospital and police station.I am now back in UK have lots to sort out.I been to the States Hong Kong,Thailand,Philiphines many times and have never experienced any thing like this before.Puerto Banus and Marbella are lovely places, but i think they have attracted a very bad element which the police need to crack down on.
