35 uniformed and plain clothes police officers took part in the raids under the code name "Operation White Corner".

Most of the raids were carried out in Punta Ballena, Magaluf's main strip of bars and clubs.

The eight suspects include Brits, Pakistanis and Nigerians.

Most were working on the streets, allegedly selling drugs to holidaymakers and bar and club staff.

Worried residents alerted the police because of suspected drug pushers and tourists causing a disturbance.

Police believe all eight were part of an organised gang.

Further operations are reportedly in the pipeline with more arrests are anticipated.

The raids come after local businesses and the council called on authorities to act on a pledge to stamp out "tourism of excesses".

But there are claims efforts are being scuppered by some businesses who do not want change - leading to calls for heavy fines to be put in place for owners breaching 'co-existence' laws.
