Overview

  • National Police arrested a 51-year-old Ecuadorian at Palma’s Son Sant Joan airport as he prepared to board a flight to Barcelona.
  • A duty judge ordered his pretrial imprisonment following his alleged role in the theft of 20 Bulgari jewels valued at €973,000 bound for an event in Madrid.
  • Detectives link the same group to at least four additional robberies of delivery vans between Sept. 29 and Oct. 2 across Palma.
  • The modus operandi involved drilling a small cylindrical hole by the rear-door lock to extract parcels, then masking it with a white sticker to delay detection.
  • Some of the 136 stolen packages have been recovered, and police continue to search for the remaining loot and two suspected accomplices, after tracing a rented getaway car via CCTV.
