On October 16, around 2.15am, the two men - who are brothers - approached a woman from behind in the Sa Feixina area of the city. One grabbed her round the neck, while the other tried to snatch her bag. The woman resisted but they managed to open the bag and steal a phone that was inside it. They were arrested shortly afterwards by the National Police.
A court in Palma sentenced them earlier this week to eighteen months in prison. But rather than go to prison, they are to be expelled from Spain for a period of six years. Both of them are in an 'irregular' situation in Spain; not legally registered, therefore.

Everyone knows about the problems associated with these types of individuals they say they are iregular that means they are not registered wonder if they are now no mention of that Ordered hmm who's gonna control that , the existing system is not functioning but really there´s not enough of a public blowback to change anything .
Good result. Why should tax payers support the cost of Algerians in jail for 6 years? Sending them back from where they came is a good solution but only if Customs have the control system to recognise them should they attempt to return.
Bravo. They need to send back a lot more of these thieves. But not for only 6 years, but forever!
The Prisons are FULL but don't worry they will be back very quick and soon to Rob more stuff !
