Restraining orders over and carnation sellers return to Palma
Thefts from tourists at the end of March
Two women aged 41 and 47 were arrested by the National Police earlier this week and charged with the theft of money from tourists in Palma. The women are known as 'claveleras'. 'Clavel' is the Spanish for carnation. They approach their targets and ask for a few coins in exchange for a carnation - a typical excuse is raising money for the church - and while these targets are distracted, they lift notes from a wallet or the wallet itself.
