A BRITISH driver has warned of a robbery method being used by criminal gangs in Malaga. 

Peter Cackett shared a dashcam video which shows his windscreen being egged by a passenger in a car driving on the other side of the road.

He then passes another car on his side of the road which he claims was ‘waiting for him’.

Cackett said in his warning: “Observe the one parked on the right going down the hill waiting for me to pull over, you see me pass him, (notice he has his brake lights on ready to follow me which he did) he followed me all the way to the roundabout just before you turn on to the Autovia and then he gave up)..

“The important thing is not to put your wipers on, if you do then your whole windscreen will be obscured, and don’t stop to clean it off, that’s what they want you to do,
they then offer to help you clean it and whilst you are pre-occupied they rob you in what ever way they can.”

Cackett was driving from El Puente in Alcaucin near Malaga past a lake at Vinuela when the crime took place.

Police are investigating.
