    A UK seaside town popular with tourists has been rocked by the recent arrest of a suspected spy for Russia.<\/p>\n

    Orlin Roussev has been living in the UK since 2009 and was nicked back in February along with four other people after he was found living in a seaside guesthouse in Great Yarmouth, Norfolk.<\/p>\n

    The Bulgarian national, 45, has since been charged with possessing identity documents with "improper intention" and remains in custody following an Official Secrets Act investigation.<\/p>\n

    The arrest will no doubt have come as a shock to Great Yarmouth's residents and holidaymakers \u2013 but travel bosses say the news hasn't impacted the town's booming tourism industry.<\/p>\n

    <\/p>\n

    Speaking on behalf of Visit Great Yarmouth's CEO, the organisation's PR representative Liz Blakeborough told the Express: "The arrest of a Bulgarian national living in Great Yarmouth in relation to the Official Secrets Act has not had any effect on tourism in the destination.<\/p>\n

    "In fact, visitor figures are strong and predicted to be slightly up on pre-pandemic numbers this summer."<\/p>\n

    The town has long been a favourite among UK staycationers and was recently ranked fourth in a top 10 list of Britain's most affordable seaside locations.<\/p>\n
