The Guardia Civil arrested a 36-year-old man from Manacor after investigators traced him via online listings of stolen goods. In his apartment, authorities found over 150 clothing items, many still with tags.
Arrest in connection with a series of thefts at Mallorca Fashion Outlet
\nIt's not every day that a supposedly quiet Sunday afternoon at the outlet becomes a neighborhood headline again. In mid-October the handcuffs clicked: the Guardia Civil arrested a 36-year-old man from Manacor. He is suspected of having stolen clothing over months from several shops at the Mallorca Fashion Outlet.
\nThe trace this time ran less through hidden pockets in a shopping cart than through the internet. Investigators traced the suspect after parts of the loot were put up for sale online. The establishment, you know: someone sells seemingly bargain-brand goods whose origin doesn't add up â and the alarm bells ring.
\nSearches early in the morning â more than 150 items found
\nIn a subsequent house search, officers reportedly secured more than 150 garments. Many of them still bore price tags. The estimated total value is around âŹ6,000. Yes, that means: not a few high-end pieces, but many items in the mid-price range â together a tidy package.
\nA police spokesperson said the findings would now be catalogued and the origin checked. Buyers who recently bought apparently cheap bargains from Mallorca online should come forward. Sometimes the trail is a photo, a price, or a note â and one case links to the next, according to a statement.
\nThe suspect was provisionally detained and now faces criminal charges. As is often the case in such situations, a judge will later decide on further steps.
\nA local perspective
\nAnyone who regularly drives past the outlet or shops there knows the mix of tourists, regular customers and boutique staff. Such thefts are frustrating for everyone involved â for the stores, the employees, and not least for honest buyers who suddenly face questionable offers online.
\nMy recommendation to everyone: if a branded item is online offered unusually cheaply, take a closer look. And if something seems odd, inform the police. On Mallorca people know each other; things stand out here if you look.
\nShort facts: Arrest: 36-year-old man from Manacor. Find: over 150 garments, many with price tags. Estimated value: around âŹ6,000. Investigations ongoing.
