PalmThe National Police have arrested a young man of Spanish origin who was riding a motorcycle in Palma with three other passengers on board, without helmets, a license, or having passed the MOT (Spanish vehicle inspection). The incident occurred this Tuesday at around 3:30 a.m. on Jaume III Street in Palma, when a Citizen Services patrol from the National Police observed a motorcycle with four young men on board who were not wearing helmets.

The officers ordered them to stop, but the driver continued driving until the vehicle finally stopped. They got off and fled, ignoring the police's warnings.

Eventually, the officers managed to intercept three of the young men, including the driver, and verified that the motorcycle did not have a valid MOT (Spanish vehicle inspection).

Therefore, they requested the presence of a Palma Local Police patrol, who verified that the young man driving did not have any type of license. In response to the incident, officers arrested the man as the alleged perpetrator of a crime against road safety.
