Alcúdia in the Crosshairs: When Pickpockets Pose as Tourists

Answer

Why are pickpockets a problem in Alcúdia during the season?

In Alcúdia, thefts tend to increase when the season brings more visitors to the old town, the beaches, and the weekly market. Offenders can blend in with ordinary holidaymakers, which makes them harder to spot in crowded places. That is why prevention and visible patrols matter so much in peak periods.
