In Palma de Mallorca a concerning incident unfolded when a group of young women were socializing on a street near the Plaza de Toros. While the majority focused on conversation and drinks, one member of the group was left alone to manage the beverages. A young woman in the party took advantage of that moment, adding a substance to one of the glasses and then stealing a mobile phone shortly after the drink was consumed. The trouble began when the drinker started to feel dizzy and noticed an odd taste, prompting concerns about the safety of the moment and the belongings of the group. The perpetrator then used this distraction to keep attention away from the incident while using a mobile device nearby. Police later detained the 20-year-old suspect on charges that include violent theft using chemicals and obstruction of justice.
The events occurred on a night in late November in the Palma district around the Plaza de Toros. A cluster of friends was enjoying drinks outside when the group dispersed momentarily and one person remained to supervise the beverages. The offender saw an opportunity as attention shifted and carefully mixed a substance into one of the glasses being consumed by the group’s host who carried a premium mobile phone. The slapdash moment of vulnerability created the chance for the theft to take place without immediate notice.
After the group members returned, the drinker noticed a strange taste and soon began to feel unwell. Vision blurred and balance wavered as the person grew dizzy. The woman who stayed with the drinks offered to accompany the guest outside for air and then suggested continuing the night elsewhere. At first, the victim hesitated to involve friends, but the situation demanded disclosure as the symptoms worsened.
As the affected person attempted to use their phone, it was discovered missing from the personal belongings after the drink fatigue set in. A sense of suspicion arose that the so-called altruist might have taken the device. The suspect had shown clear interest in the phone in the hours after the incident, and when asked to return it, she refused. The victim later reported the sequence and requested assistance from authorities.
The effects intensified as the drug continued to take hold, with the individual losing consciousness and requiring medical evaluation. Hospital tests confirmed exposure to a psychotropic substance administered without consent during the night. Immediate medical care was provided to stabilize the patient while investigators gathered details about the sequence of events and the individuals involved.
Following the complaint, officers from the National Police Central District Police Station Investigation Group undertook a detailed inquiry. The investigation led to the arrest of the 20-year-old female the following Friday on charges that include violent robbery with the use of chemicals and obstruction of justice. The case highlights the dangers of predatory behavior in social settings and the impact on victims who are deprived of their safety and property. The victim has remained resolute in pursuing the case, and the authorities continue to work to ensure accountability and safety for others who may encounter similar risks.
