A new plainclothes police unit in Calvia (Magalluf, Palmanova, Santa Ponsa, Illetas, Paguera) has led to a 40 percent increase in the number of arrests in the municipality. As a result of its success the Calvia council wants to expand the unit. A total of 174 arrests were made last summer.

Such a shame that plain clothes police officers could not be deployed to all major resorts and stop the illegal sale of counterfeit goods etc. It is doing the genuine stores from selling genuine products to make an honest living.
