Nighttime Break-ins in Palma: Arrest Stops the Spree — But How Safe Is the Old Town Really?

Answer

Why are late-night break-ins more common in parts of Palma?

Break-ins tend to happen where darkness, quiet streets and easy access create a chance for quick theft. In Palma, narrow alleys and older shopfronts with simple shutters can be a weak point, especially if police patrols are less frequent at night. Social problems such as debt or addiction can also play a role, although investigations are needed to know whether a theft ring is involved.
