British Tourist Mugged Twice in Mallorca

In a series of alarming incidents involving British tourists in Spain, two couples were attacked in Lloret de Mar by a hooded man wielding a knife, resulting in one woman suffering significant injuries as they resisted the mugging. Police quickly arrested the attacker, who had only stolen a mobile phone from the group. Meanwhile, a 55-year-old British man in Majorca was mugged twice in quick succession, first losing his iPhone and then his £150,000 diamond Rolex watch to separate groups of thieves. The thieves, including Senegalese and Algerian nationals, received varying sentences for their crimes, with some facing prison time for the violent robberies. These incidents highlight a troubling trend of violence against tourists in popular Spanish destinations, prompting concerns about safety in the region.
