Police Bag Gang

over 100 not out when the cops nabbed them
Agents of the Murcian National Police have captured a band of Polish criminals who were based in Benidorm.
The Poles, who were known as 'the airbag gang,' specialised in robbing safety and sound equipment from parked cars and were up to over 100 not out when the cops nabbed them.
Operating throughout the south of Valencia province and Murcia, their method was always the same - find a car park near a main road, break the car's lock or window, and then extract the stereo or airbag using specially colour coded tools, (each colour signifying a different make of car) and then run away with the loot as fast as they could.
The police caught the Poles, two young couples, as they were leaving their hideout in possession of the tools with which they allegedly committed the robberies.
Where am I?
