- A 52-year-old suspect has been arrested following a high-speed chase off the coast of Ibiza after allegedly stealing a flagship speedboat valued at £855,000 from Port de Sóller harbour.
- The charter firm tracked the stolen vessel using onboard technology south towards the islet of Tagomago before alerting the Spanish Civil Guard to its location.
- Dramatic aerial footage shows the driver steering recklessly at full throttle for nearly 30 minutes, ignoring direct orders to stop and repeatedly ramming into a coastguard patrol boat.
- Armed officers from the Spanish Civil Guard intercepted the craft using a surveillance helicopter and two patrol boats, boarding the vessel once the suspect finally cut the engines.
- The suspect faces charges of boat theft, assaulting an officer, and resisting arrest, whilst authorities continue to investigate how the boat was taken and the role of a woman found aboard.
