The events took place on October 11 in a hotel located on Avinguda de l’Oliver, according to sources from the Guardia Civil. The manager of the establishment was told that there was a lot of noise in room 2439 and a quality manager went to the room to check that there was no incident. A woman opened the door and told her that everything was fine.
After check out time, the hotel staff returned to the room and found a number of damage items: two televisions with smashed screens, the bathroom damaged and four broken mugs. The employees took steps to try to locate the guests and found that they were no longer in the establishment and had left without checking out. They then reported the incident to the Guardia Civil. A patrol went to the hotel in Magalluf and examined the room.
The officers reported that there was a large mess in the room with bed linen and broken bottle glass on the floor. The two televisions had cracked screens as a result of being hit, according to sources in the investigation, with some kind of blunt object and the glass window that separates the bedroom from the bathroom to provide opacity between the two rooms had the vinyl torn off on the top left-hand side.
Officers rushed to Palma airport and arrested the British tourists at around 3.40pm for criminal damage. This Saturday morning they were taken to the police court and released after a speedy trial on a charge of criminal damage.

The UK police should have also been alerted to arrest them upon arrival in UK.
Council house filth, lock em up.
So they do just over a grands worth of damage and are done for €720, not taking into account that the room is out of action and not rentable for a period of time! Kin he'll, this place.
Pity there isn't a photo of these idiots.
Mindless criminal destruction of property like this is a complete puzzle to most of us. Why did they do it? What was the motivation? In addition to the criminal record and the fines I would like to see MDB publish the names of the criminals and circulate their details to hotel groups for inclusion on their banned list. These people have no place in civilised society.
Someone last week commented negatively about there being more American visitors each year. I promise you there won’t be news reports about Americans trashing hotels for a long time still. Prefer them over British yobs any day.
These very sad bad British People are not wanted here in Mallorca. 1046 Euro damage. But only 360 Euro Fine. Sounds like a drunken rampage throwing mugs at the TV's etc. Surely they should be made to pay ALL the damage costs, as well as their low fines.
