MALLORCA TODAY - Profile of Mallorca's pyromaniac

Police and forestry officials believe that the person (acting with or without accomplices) starting deliberate fires on Mallorca is a former fireman or forestry worker or someone in a similar line of work, male, the driver of a white Ford Fiesta and unemployed (and loss of employment could be a motive). The Guardia Civil has pointed to certain similarities with many of the fires - their remoteness but also proximity to main roads (to facilitate the fire-starter's escape) as well as their timing, towards the end of shifts which mean that overtime has to be paid to those who initially attend the fires.
