Mallorca burglaries: four face 36 years in total

Mallorca, in the Balearic Islands: four people accused of at least 12 home burglaries face trial on Wednesday and Thursday. Prosecutors are seeking a combined 36 years in prison and nearly 45,000 euros in compensation. The hearing before the Second Chamber of the Balearic Islands Provincial Court is due to begin at 10.00.

According to prosecutors, the four arrived by ferry in July 2025 with a hire car. Over several days, they drove around the island, allegedly breaking into homes and taking mainly high-end watches and jewellery.

At one home, neighbours spotted the suspects and alerted the Civil Guard. Officers told them to stop, but they sped away. They left Mallorca without being detected and were later arrested in Alicante. One was carrying numerous forged Peruvian documents.

The charges include burglary, membership of a criminal organisation, document forgery and dangerous driving.
