Attempted Occupation in Colonia de Sant Jordi: Hole in the Wall, Three Arrests — What Now?

Answer

Why are empty houses in Mallorca sometimes targeted for break-ins?

Vacant homes can attract offenders because they may be easier to approach without being noticed, especially in tourist areas where many properties are second homes or used only part of the year. In Mallorca, this can become a concern when houses are left unattended for long periods and neighbours do not immediately notice suspicious activity.
