Answer
Why do some burglary gangs in Palma target empty flats?
Empty flats are easier to enter unnoticed, especially during the day when neighbours may be at work. Police believe organised groups can move quickly, use tools or master keys, and leave before anyone realises what happened. That makes building security and neighbour awareness especially important in residential areas of Palma.
