Officers said the brazen thieves operated along a 450-mile stretch of the AP-7, from Spains north-eastern border with France to Murcia in the south-east.

Police trawled through dash cam videos from victims and detained six suspected members of the criminal gang.

The six suspects were remanded in custody yesterday after appearing before a judge in Reus near Tarragona in eastern Spain.

A police spokesman: We have smashed a criminal gang which targeted tourists in service stations on the AP-7 motorway and arrested the main suspects, six men of Serbian and Kosovan origin aged between 35 and 50.
