On Monday, two men - a Spaniard and a Moroccan - were arrested after stealing a phone and some 100 euros from a German tourist in Playa de Palma.
A hotel receptionist, who had gone outside for a smoke, observed a car with two men slowly pursuing the tourist. He memorised the car registration number and seconds later there were shouts. The tourist went to his hotel and told reception that he had been robbed. The other receptionist was able to give the National Police the number. The tourist, meanwhile, needed medical treatment for cuts to his head and to a lip.
The car was stopped near the Estadi Balear. A search led to the discovery of the phone and cash. The two were arrested. They were the same pair who had been arrested on Wednesday last week in connection with 23 thefts from cars. On that occasion, they were released some hours later after having appeared in court.
It is understood that they both have numerous police records for similar offences.

Very disappointing and very disturbing to see repeated events taking place such as this guess there is some speacial laws in Mallorca if you smash someone in the head and face no big deal , as Soltan has suggested they should have stolen a car instead of using there own nice deportation is not going to happen but you can't afford the time don't do the crime , they need to be put away for a while another problem is that when they go to jail in Palma they come out knowing more criminals than before with more plans , they need to be sent to various places far away from PALMA !!!
Stan The ManOne of them was a local but yes the other one should be deported. They're obviously not the smartest, using their own car for robberies.
Surely these two Male Criminals with many previous convictions of crimes should have been Jailed and then deported, with the confiscation of their passports. Reported to their respective Countries and through Interpol. Why are the Police involved in not executing these punishments for their crimes?
