POLICE made six arrests for robbery in Palma over the weekend. In one incident officers detained two thieves who had just mugged a young man on the seafront promenade at 3am on Saturday. They had grabbed the victim by the arm and threatened to whack him with a bottle. A police patrol on duty in the zone managed to track down and arrest the pair a short time afterwards. The following night police cuffed two youngsters as they were nicking items from the interior of a vehicle parked along the seafront. Officers seized a crowbar the delinquents used to get into the cars. Then on Monday night police surprised two other lads just after they smashed a car window. In the same weekend police arrested a man on charges of receiving stolen goods after discovering he was carrying a mobile phone which had been robbed.
