The Balearics have the highest crime rate in Spain, no wonder.
"The officers recognised the 22-year-old Moroccan, as is he is well known to the police." It must be very frustrating to be a police officer in Spain. You well know a criminal, you arrest him multiple times and the courts led him walk on each occasion. And he's not even Spanish so he could be deported. Only when he attempts theft from a judge's car or home will action be taken against him. Meanwhile we all need to be aware that there's a thief on the loose and seemingly untouchable.
Why on Earth do the police even bother? They arrest and the courts release. The law is far too lenient. It is laughable, especially for the crims who must think it’s a bonanza every day!
Deport him.
