Last Sunday, a sailboat was stolen from the yacht club in Can Pastilla by two homeless men. One of the two, identified as B.B.S., has form in this regard. He stole a boat from the yacht club in Portocolom in November 2023.
The 64-year-old took the boat in the early hours of November 27. It was recovered, but the motor, valued at 3,000 euros, was missing.
The case went before a court in Palma on March 10 this year. There was an agreement between the defence and prosecution whereby he pleaded guilty and was handed a six-month sentence plus an order to pay the 3,000 euros.
The prison sentence was suspended on condition that he did not commit any other crimes for a period of five years and made the payment within 18 months.
Clearly in breach of that judgement, it is now up to the courts to determine further action.
