"She's Dolph's angel and anyone who messes with her is messing with him."
Spanish police are hunting for the three masked attackers. "Police have got very few leads. All three burglars wore balaclavas and they've no real description to go on," a source said. "They're looking at CCTV footage to see if they can advance the inquiry.
