A Benidorm hotel receptionist allegedly sneaks into a British mother’s room before sniffing and stealing her underwear after she set up a secret camera to catch him.
HOW IT HAPPENED
Rara Armstrong, from Gloucester, took her 11-year-old son on a family holiday to Benidorm, Spain, where she said she was left ‘creeped out’ when the hotel employee asked for her number and to take her for a coffee.
The man then dropped off a bottle of prosecco in her room ‘to apologise’, which caused her to set up her son’s iPad to record the door while she and her son went to dinner in case he would enter her room again.
CAMERA CAUGHT HIM IN THE ACT
In a ‘surreal’ twist, the receptionist can be seen on video entering the room and appearing to rustle around in what Ms Armstrong claims is her dirty laundry bag.
Footage shows the man, wearing a smart shirt and trousers, pulling what appears to be a thong out of the bag and seemingly sniffing it, before stuffing the garment in his back pocket.
‘It made me feel horrible, I felt so violated. I was there with my son and this man was meant to be [a member of] staff,’ Ms Armstrong said.
She added about the ‘surreal’ moment captured during her holiday back in May: ‘It was crazy. I wasn’t expecting something like that.’
The mother-of-one said first encountered the man when she went to the hotel reception on her first day to ask about her room key not working.
She claims that this was when he asked to take her for a coffee, and when she rejected him, he asked for her number instead.
