Two Civil Guard officers have been injured during a shooting in Terrassa. The event is very recent and the official information from the Mossos d'Esquadra, who have assumed the investigation of the case, is that there is an incident underway in this Vallès city. Sources consulted by ARA indicate that the officers were immersed in a pursuit when the people they were following allegedly opened fire on them. At least one of the officers is reportedly in serious condition. Both policemen have been taken to the hospital.

His name was Javi, he was 60 years old and he was the neighborhood cobbler. Practically all the residents of Martí i Blasi street, in l'Hospitalet de Llobregat, knew him because they had brought him shoes to be repaired. This Wednesday, a neighbor from the building where the cobbler's shop he ran was also located saw the shutter half-lowered and suspected that something was wrong. Throughout the morning, he explains to ARA, several neighbors had wondered why the business was closed. Finally, he decided to lift the shutter and found Javi's lifeless body.

New case of illegal detention in Catalonia, again linked to drug trafficking. This Sunday at 9:30 p.m. in Calella, in the Maresme region, a witness alerted that three hooded people had gotten out of a car and had forcibly taken a man, putting him inside the trunk. It all happened in an area on the outskirts of Calella, on Puig de Popa street, but quite busy. The victim's car was left parked in the area, open and with money inside, a clue that has been useful for the Mossos d'Esquadra.

For weeks, neighbors had seen an excess of filth, with trash bags that could even be glimpsed through the windows, and they noticed a strong stench that kept getting worse. It was a detached house located in Cabrera d'Anoia where a family lived, consisting of a father, Albert Soler, a doctor known in the world of homeopathy, his wife, and his daughter, who was ten years old when they arrived a decade ago. After neighbor complaints and the intervention of the City Council, according to sources from the council, this Tuesday, the Mossos d'Esquadra tried to get in touch with this family, but they would pick up and quickly hang up the phone. Finally, this Wednesday, they decided to approach the house and ring the doorbell.

The fact that there are more or fewer copper thefts in Catalonia depends on a building located in the City of London. The London Metal Exchange marks the global evolution of the price of copper and, if things are on the decline in England, in Catalonia everything points to a few quiet months. However, bearing in mind that the price of copper has increased by approximately 20% since the beginning of the year and 70% since the beginning of 2025, this increase has also translated into a rise in thefts in the country, which in some cases have produced serious disruptions to the Rodalies network, the latest this Wednesday on the R3.

The well-known architect Josep Juanpere died on December 26 in Baqueira, in the Aran Valley. Initially, his death was attributed to a heart attack, but the judicial investigation led by the Mossos d'Esquadra has ended up leading to the arrest of his partner, a 65-year-old woman, allegedly related to the architect's death, according to sources consulted by ARA.

Five men with their faces covered, dressed in black and wearing reflective vests with the word "police" in capital letters on their backs, forcibly pull a man with a bloodied face and half-dressed from the back of a car. The events took place on the AP-7, between Montornès del Vallès and Vilanova del Vallès. It is daytime and some drivers are recording the scene, worried about what is happening right in front of them. They doubt whether the five individuals are police officers, due to the clothing they are wearing, but the aggressiveness with which they behave and the fact that they are covered up makes them suspicious. Finally, all five of them manage to get the man into another vehicle, just as it was recorded in a video that has circulated on social media.

It was a luxury villa in Sant Just Desvern with a pool, a game room, and all kinds of amenities. Inside, however, it was practically empty: without sofas, chairs, tables, or beds. Who lived there? Nobody. It had been rented for a couple of days by a man of Albanian origin—in reality, they had used his details as a front. When the National Police agents entered, they went through room by room, surprised not to find even a single piece of furniture, but finally, in the garage, they located what they were looking for: 1,351 kilograms of pure cocaine.

The Mossos d'Esquadra have arrested two more minors, 16 years old, allegedly linked to the death of a man in Manresa on September 1st. These two arrests are in addition to the two arrests the police already made on the same day of the incident, two minors aged 15 and 16 with criminal records, one of whom was on supervised release after having spent time in a juvenile detention center for attempted homicide.

The Government has restricted non-essential mobility during this Wednesday and has suspended classes and non-urgent healthcare activity in Garraf, Vallès Occidental, Baix Llobregat, Alt Penedès, and Baix Penedès due to the forecast of very intense rainfall. The Minister of Interior, Núria Parlon, has announced that this Tuesday afternoon they will send an ES-Alert message to mobile phones in these five regions to warn of the downpours and restrictions, which will involve suspending classes on the second day of the school year, which began this Tuesday amidst a teachers' strike.

Absence of paternal figures, lack of supervision during childhood, school absenteeism, difficulty in emotional management, impulsivity, low commitment to society. These were some of the conclusions of the psychologists who had treated the two minors, aged 15 and 16, arrested last week in Manresa for the fatal stabbing of a 45-year-old man. Both had criminal records and both, as ARA has been able to reconstruct from various sources, have had a troubled childhood and have caused constant conflicts in the centers where they were educated, from which this complex situation had been repeatedly warned about.

A man is in critical condition after jumping from a fourth-floor balcony in Barcelona. The man had stabbed three people inside the home. One of the injured is in serious condition.

Ana Buza Mira was only 18 years old when she started dating Rafael, who was 26. A year later, in the early hours of September 7, 2019, she was found dead behind the safety fence of the A-4, a highway near the town of Carmona, in Seville. Rafael explained to the police that the young woman had jumped from the vehicle he was driving. At 7:30 in the morning, a pair of civil guards woke Antonio and his wife with the words no parent would ever want to hear: "Your daughter has died under strange circumstances." "I went crazy," explains Antonio to ARA.

A car fleeing from the Mossos d'Esquadra driving against traffic on the AP-7 caused an accident with nine injured – one of them in critical condition – which forced the highway to be closed for three hours. The police have arrested the driver, who was initially trapped inside the vehicle, for vehicular homicide. Another occupant of the car has also been arrested for disobedience and robbery. However, a third person managed to escape and is currently wanted.

The trigger was a trivial matter. The argument started with a comment like "are you looking at me funny" and one of the involved parties left. But he returned with an electric scooter and shot at the group he had argued with. This happened a week ago in the Raval district of Barcelona. Two people ended up arrested and no one was injured. This is one of the cases that shows, according to police sources, that it is being detected how firearms are appearing more and more often in new contexts, situations that are not linked to organized crime or large drug mafias.

A member of the Military Emergencies Unit (UME) died this Sunday while participating in the operation to extinguish the fire declared on Monday in Las Peñas de Riglos (Huesca). According to the Efe agency, the man died as a result of a traffic accident during the work to put out the fire. The president of the government of Aragon, Jorge Azcón, has conveyed his condolences to the lieutenant general of the UME, as reported by the Aragonese government.

A refrigerated van was circulating on the AP-7, at the height of Girona. The Mossos decided to stop it and, inside, they found 14 puppies of various breeds, such as cavapoo, cavalier, maltipoo or teckel. Where did the dogs come from? From Slovakia. And where were they going? To a zoo in Empordà that, surprisingly, no longer exists. Furthermore, the puppies were about 10 weeks old — below the minimum legal age permitted for import, set at 15 weeks — and also did not meet the sanitary requirements. The animals were transferred to a shelter and the driver ended up arrested.

Two men from Granollers have been arrested in southern Paraguay accused of the murder of two people and the attempted homicide of a third, with whom they had arranged a supposed sale of gold, according to Efe.

The Mossos d'Esquadra have arrested a man allegedly linked to the violent death of another person this Thursday in the Nou Barris district of Barcelona. As the ARA has learned, around 12:40 PM, agents of the Guàrdia Urbana found a wounded and bloodied man leaving a residence. Despite his critical condition, he tried to grab a motorcycle but fell to the ground. At that moment, the agents alerted the Mossos d'Esquadra and the Emergency Medical System (SEM).
