Answer

Who is most at risk of street robbery in Palma?

The reported victims in this case were mainly older women and men, which suggests that visibly worn jewellery can make someone a target on the street. That does not mean only older people are at risk, but age, routine, and distraction can make someone more vulnerable in crowded areas. Staying alert in busy parts of Palma can reduce the chance of becoming an easy target.
