Three Britons Are Arrested After Man Was Shot Near Costa Del Sol Bar

Police said false documents, weapons and drugs were seized after the arrest of three British suspects in a shooting linked to gang crime.

  • National Police arrested three British nationals in Orihuela Costa on the Costa Blanca, nearly 350 miles from the site of a shooting near Estepona. The suspects were detained in connection with the beach attack.
  • The investigation follows a July 28 attack where a 31-year-old Lithuanian man was shot four times near Sonora Beach in Estepona. Bar staff confirmed the incident occurred outside the venue as gunmen fled in a car.
  • Authorities seized false documentation, weapons, and drugs during the operation. Two suspects remain in custody on attempted murder and drug trafficking charges, while a third Briton was released on bail.
  • Officers from the Costa del Sol traveled to La Zenia to execute the raids with local backup. Several additional arrests were reportedly made near Estepona as the investigation continued.
  • This arrest occurs amid recent gun violence across Malaga and Marbella. Police sources have linked the broader pattern of attacks to ongoing gangland feuds in the region.
