THE GUARDIA Civil has arrested a 35-year-old woman accused of stealing a suitcase in Palma airport.
She had reportedly flown to the island from the UK on April 17, where she took luggage, containing a €25,000 bracelet, from the arrivals lounge.

The court banned the woman from entering Palma airport but did not keep her in custody.
It is thought she is part of a criminal gang dedicated to travelling around European airports to steal luggage.
The gang’s modus operandi involves travelling in groups of two or three before separating to commit various robberies in a short period of time.
They allegedly change clothes to avoid detection before catching new flights to escape the crime scene.
