Beware all arriving to Barcelona

A new method to steal your money.something that happened to me and another couple last week after we finnish to eat in restaurant neer the marina in marina ave This is the method:
a young man looks like a student ask you where is the way to some famous place
,and suddenly two mens appears well dress with costume
and says that they are a secret police and showwing you a badge of policeman during saying that they looking for buyying hashis and kokain and want to check US IF WE BUY and while they smelling wallet and asking if the is not fake the money sayying that they are sorry but this job to check us after they release us ,after they go I check my
wallet and found that the big money of 50 and 100 disappear and only the 5,10,20 left
