Law enforcement operations across the Balearic Islands have targeted drug trafficking and various illegal activities. In Mallorca, security deployments during local festivities in Maó resulted in nine arrests and over 100 proposed sanctions for drug possession or consumption. In Playa de Palma, undercover officers intercepted a cocaine transaction disguised as a sale of sunglasses.

In Ibiza, specifically Sant Antoni de Portmany, police dismantled three irregular settlements in rural areas to mitigate wildfire risks. Additionally, authorities seized approximately 18 kilograms of narcotics and 54 boxes of nitrous oxide canisters from a warehouse following the arrest of a suspect attempting to flee the scene.
