Spanish police in Benalmádena, on the Costa del Sol, arrest a British couple over an allegation that they left three young children unattended in a hotel while they went out partying. The children are reported to be four years old and under, including a six-month-old baby. According to reports cited by multiple outlets, the youngest child is tested after the incident and is said to have tested positive for cocaine. Police actions and the arrest follow the allegation that the children were left alone in the hotel. Details about how the testing is carried out, the circumstances leading to the discovery, and whether charges are formally filed are not presented consistently across the reports. The outlets agree on the main points: the couple’s nationality, the location in Benalmádena/Málaga area, the number and ages of the children, that the parents allegedly went out to party, and that the six-month-old is reported to have a positive cocaine test. The case is described as an ongoing investigation by Spanish authorities.
