Palma.—A crack Guardia Civi l unit from Valencia has recently been deployed to Majorca to help in the crack down on rural property robberies.
Over recent months there has been an increase in the number of break in to luxury and large rural properties and the Guardia Civil has intensified its campaign to crackdown on the serious crime wave, which for the part is being caused by Eastern European gangs - some of which are ex-forces.

The first phase of the crackdown began yesterday and will continue until April 22. Spot checkpoints will be thrown up in rural areas and extra mobile units will be on patrol.
