Harry Poulton regularly shares his travel tips and advice about the Spanish destination with his 49,000 followers on TikTok (@harrytokky ).

He recently revealed that Brits visiting the holiday spot are being fined up to €100 for one bizarre reason: building sandcastles on the beach.

The content creator begins: “If you’re coming to Benidorm, this area behind me you need to be very careful.”

He claims pickpockets are rife near the Old Town, specifically between two hotels – the Helios and Venus – on the roundabout.

Harry said: “This is where you’ve got to be a little bit careful at the moment,” as he pans the camera to show the location in question.

He continued: “A few people have told me recently they have been pickpocketed around this area.

“Have a bag, a handbag, a man bag.

“Honestly, the amount of people I see at the moment walking around Benidorm with their phones half out their pockets, with cash hanging out their pockets – it’s crazy.

“And unfortunately, when there’s tourists, there’s pickpockets.”

The 24-year-old, from Brighton, hopes not to put people off visiting Benidorm with his warning; especially as the theft crime happens in lots of destinations.

Users have flocked to the comments to share their reactions.

“Never go there again full of robbers,” Cath said.

Someone else commented: “There all over Benidorm so nowt new there.”
