Significant Cash Heist Aboard Mega Express Four Near Port d'Alcúdia
In a startling incident on August 25, 2024, a substantial sum of 70,000 Euros was stolen from a safe aboard the ferry 'Mega Express Four' while it was approaching the Port d'Alcúdia. The crew discovered the unlocked safe just before their scheduled 8 p.m. arrival. Immediately alerting both the local police and the Guardia Civil, authorities launched a thorough investigation to track down the suspected thief who was aboard the vessel, which had arrived from Toulon. Upon docking, Guardia Civil and port police conducted searches of all passengers and inspected vehicles exiting the ferry. Unfortunately, as of now, law enforcement has yet to identify the culprit. One theory suggests that the perpetrator may have connections to the ferry company, possibly even being an insider involved in the daring theft.
