Five Emergency service ambulances targeted by vandals

Palma.—The ambulances working out of Manacor, Capdepera, Santa Ponsa, Andratx and Palma had their tyres let down, wing mirrors smashed and tar thrown over the windscreens, Majorca's Emergency Health Transport Service confirmed yesterday, adding that the damage will not stop the service to the public. A spokesman said that in response to the vandalism, a team of mechanics and other technicians had rushed to the vandalised vehicles and repaired them on the spot. Industrial disputes over pay and jobs have been dogging the ambulance service.
