An Irish mother has been arrested after her family were accused of trying to leave their Spanish hotel without paying their £2,000 bill.
Police arrested her on suspicion of fraud at Gran Canaria airport after she protested there had been problems with the bank card she had used to book the all-inclusive holiday.
The woman, who travelled to the Canary island with her partner and child, stayed for 11 nights but when the hotel tried to charge the card she had used to book the stay, the payment did not go through.
Staff at the hotel, which has not been named, tried to contact the woman, who said she would pay the bill but stopped replying to the company without settling the amount.
Officers tracked her to the island's airport, where she was arrested and taken to a police station on Gran Canaria's southern coast.
