The first assault, according to sources from the Civil Guard, was perpetrated in August 2019, when a hooded guy Y armed with a razor broke into a commercial establishment in Felanitx, in which there was a single employee, a woman in her 40s.

It was enough to verbally intimidate the victim to hand over the money he had. He led her back to a room in the back but this time did not sexually assault her. He just locked her in the room and fled.
Some customers who entered the establishment shortly after heard the cries for help and released the employee.
