Spanish Police Probe Mallorca Villa Burglary After Victims Report Being Sedated

Investigators are checking for links to other cases reported by German visitors.

Overview

  • A German businesswoman and her mother say thieves broke into their Nova Santa Ponça villa overnight and stole cash, jewelry, and bags worth about €25,000.
  • They awoke feeling dizzy with a strange taste in their mouths and then found a forced window and jewelry boxes on the floor.
  • When they filed a report, they met other Germans describing near-identical break-ins, and some victims believe a gas was used to sedate residents, which police have not confirmed.
  • The Guardia Civil said it has opened an investigation and is reviewing surveillance footage and other physical traces from the house.
  • Mallorca-Magazin published home camera images that appear to show masked intruders moving through a bedroom during the night.
