BRITISH police officers Martina Anderson and Brett Williams from the West Midlands have completed a two-week stint on the beat in Magaluf (Mallorca) and are now based in San Antonio (Ibiza). They have just dealt with their first major incident involving a British man and woman aged 26 and 30 who were on holiday in the area and seen apparently fighting on the Paseo S’Arenal last night (Wednesday). Bystanders had called the Guardia Civil when they saw the woman being attacked by her partner. Williams and Anderson attended to the woman and the Guardia Civil arrested the man, but the victim did not wish to press charges. The British officers are mainly patrolling the West End area of San Antonio and the nightclub and bar area of the popular beach, the Platja d’En Bossa, in Sant Josep. These are the parts of Ibiza where the highest concentration of British tourists are found. Anderson and Williams have been brought to the Balearic Islands for the summer as part of a pilot scheme involving police of the same nationality as the majority of holidaymakers being deployed as back-up.
