Deported after the 40th arrest: What the deportation of a serial offender reveals about our police and laws

Answer

Can someone keep committing crimes in Mallorca even after several arrests?

Yes, that can happen when a suspect is active across different places, changes vehicles, and avoids a stable residence. Even multiple arrests do not always lead to a permanent solution if court procedures take time or if administrative measures come too late. In Mallorca, this can leave police and communities dealing with the same person over and over again.
