THREE British holidaymakers have been arrested on suspicion of raping a woman in Magaluf.
The alleged crime took place just days after a UK teenager was allegedly gang-raped at the holiday hotspot.
Cops in Majorca confirmed this afternoon the trio had been held as they tried to board a flight to Manchester.
The woman who raised the alarm, who well-placed sources also said is British, is claiming she may have been drugged.
Tests are ongoing for any traces of suspicious substances.

A spokesman for the Civil Guard, confirming the arrests today at a hotel in the municipality of Calvia, which Magaluf is part of, said: “The Civil Guard has arrested three young men as the suspected authors of a crime of sexual aggression on a woman at a hotel in Calvia.
“This morning a central response unit received an alert about a possible sexual aggression form a hotel in the municipality.
“A police patrol went to the hotel and spoke to a young tourist who told them she had been raped in the early hours of this morning by men she had met the night before.
“She also said she had suffered chemical submission, given that she felt completely unwell possibly because of the consumption of some type of drug.
“She said she didn’t know the identity of the alleged aggressors, just the nickname one of them used on a social network.”
Explaining she had been taken to hospital so further tests could take place, the spokesman added: “Officers identified the alleged aggressors who had just abandoned the hotel with the intention of taking a flight back to their home country.
“They were arrested at Palma Airport minutes before they boarded a flight to Manchester.”
Eight men were arrested after the alleged gang rape of a British 18-year-old at the BH Mallorca Resort in Magaluf in the early hours of August 14.
Six are in custody in Majorca and two are expected to be extradited shortly from France.
Seven of the suspects, aged 18 to 26, are French and the other man is a Swiss national.

The hotel where the latest incident occurred has not yet been named.
The trio held are expected to appear in court in the Majorcan capital Palma tomorrow (SAT) after being held overnight in police custody.
Their names and ages have not been released by police, although well-placed sources described them as being in their early twenties.
The woman assisted by police is thought to be around the same age.
After the alleged August 14 gang rape of a British teenager, the BH Mallorca Resort said it was cooperating fully with the authorities and offered its support to the unnamed holidaymaker.
A spokesman said in a statement: “The BH Mallorca Resort deeply regrets what has happened and would like to manifest its firm and forceful repudiation of the alleged sexual attack that occurred in the early hours of Monday August 14 at the hotel.
“The hotel also wants to demonstrate its solidarity with the alleged victim of this aggression.
“We are co-operating fully with the Civil Guard and its investigators in everything they consider to be necessary.
“This hotel ratifies through this statement its commitment to the condemnation of all types of sexual attacks that affect peoples’ dignity and physical integrity.
“Behaviour that undermines those rights has no place in this establishment.”
The call to police over the latest incident is understood to have been received in the early hours of Friday morning although investigators have not yet said what time the call came in.
