Palma.—Two young men were arrested in Palma yesterday for apparently racing each other through the capital and then trying to escape from the police.
The two suspects aged 22 and 23 were spotted by an under cover National Police patrol car at 5.30am while patrolling along Son Armadans. Suddenly, a VW Polo followed by a Citroen C4 spun into the road at high speed and very nearly crashed into the police car before speeding off in the opposite direction.
