Mallorca illegal high power motorbike road races on the Youtube website.

15 people have been arrested in Mallorca after they placed videos of their illegal high power motorbike road races on the Youtube website. The images shown were recorded on the same stretch or road between Caimari and Selva, where two youngsters, aged 16 and 17, died as a result of the races of the group, which called themselves ‘Pikas de motos’ last April 4. It was that accident which led to the start of investigations into the group.The judge in Instruction Court 8 in Palma took the statements from the 15 detained on Monday afternoon who are aged between 19 and 31. A total of 15 bikes were also impounded, some of them modified to give a break horse power of more than 200.The 15 were released with charges still standing, accused of a crime against traffic safety. They could face prison sentences of two years under the new penal code if they are found guilty of dangerous driving, and up to five years in prison if their behaviour at the wheel is considered to have been suicidal.
