Answer

Why are Barcelona and Mallorca often mentioned in airport crime stories?

Barcelona and Mallorca are both major travel points in the Spanish airport network, so passengers and goods move frequently between them and other European cities. That makes them relevant when authorities look at travel patterns, suspicious behaviour or possible resale routes. A case involving travellers from Barcelona can therefore be of interest on Mallorca too, especially for people working in tourism and retail.
