Santa Eulalia has announced that it will employ special police to patrol the tourist areas, especially the beaches, in the town itself, and Es Cana and Cala Llonga.
Their brief will be to prevent petty crime such as the robbing of cameras, money and other personal effects from people enjoying the beach, and also nuisances like 'venta ambulante' - the illegal sales of fruit, drinks, CD's, watches, sunglasses, etc etc by unlicensed, 'walking' salesmen.
This follows the lead of Ibiza town last year, which had special tourist police on mountain bikes on the beaches of Talamanca and Figueretes.
