Mallorca power cut: woman accused of ripping out cables

Mallorca: Several homes in Son Ferriol, Palma, lose power early on Saturday after a woman allegedly pulls cables from a building’s electrical cabinet. Spain’s National Police arrest her on suspicion of criminal damage.

Officers were first sent to a Son Ferriol street after an emergency call reported an agitated woman striking parked cars. They restrained her when they arrived. Witnesses and neighbours told police she had forced her way into a building, forced the front door handle, pulled off the electrical cabinet door and torn out several cables.

A search found several small bags of suspected heroin. Police also put her forward for a penalty under the Organic Law on Citizen Security. Officers looked for cars damaged by the blows but found none nearby.
