“One of the latest cases was the arrest of two Romanian women for theft on beaches by officers from the plainclothes unit,” said the council. Following their arrest, cash and stolen items valued at around 1,500 euros have been seized and the proceedings have been transferred to the Guardia Civil, with which the local police are working very closely.
The head of the local police, Esther Ribas, said that “putting an end to theft on the beaches is one of our priorities”.
“The thefts are a direct attack on tourists and residents who want to enjoy a day at the beach,” she said.
Ribas also stressed that the aim of the municipal corporation is to “consolidate Calvia as a safe leisure destination”, which is why “there is no room for the slightest tolerance of theft”. “Calvia Local Police will not allow thieves to act with impunity in the municipality,” she stressed.
63 other people have been arrested for crimes related to the sale of drugs, while 61 people have been charged with the crime of illegal trading.

Good, good, good, good, good. All good. If Calvia really promotes itself as a safe destination (and lives up to the promise) it will certainly steal a march on other resorts. Tourists choose safety first over many other features of a destination.
