The burglaries started towards the end of last year and continued until earlier this month. As well as Palma, homes in Algaida, Ariany, Manacor, Marratxi, Porreres and Sant Llorenç were targeted. The police say that the gang forced entry into ground floor properties and houses in the countryside.
The burglaries were committed in the early hours of the morning in quiet areas at properties where the residents were not at home. The seven had different roles - transport, surveillance and breaking in.
The police investigation led to raids at five addresses in Manacor on Wednesday as well as inspections of establishments in Palma. The seven have been charged with being members of a criminal organisation, and the other three with receiving stolen goods. The investigation is continuing, the police adding that further arrests are not being ruled out.
