Raid in Palma: Specialized keys, disguises — and many unanswered questions

Answer

Are older apartment buildings in Mallorca more at risk of burglaries?

Older buildings can be more exposed if they lack modern door security, a concierge, or clear key control. In Palma, police have pointed to weak building routines and easy trust in official-looking visitors as part of the problem. Better door fittings, clear access rules, and more awareness among residents can reduce the risk.
