The Mossos d'Esquadra police force arrested two men, aged 24 and 28, in Figueres on suspicion of robbing the Uró Jewelry store in Manresa on March 11.

The arrest occurred around 9:00 PM as the suspects were reportedly about to enter another jewelry shop in the capital of Alt Empordà. Officers recognized the individuals following an investigation led by the Bages police unit.
Authorities are investigating whether the pair is part of a criminal group responsible for a series of robberies across Catalonia. A private messaging group used by jewelers to share real-time alerts played a crucial role in tracking the suspects' movements.

"Being in this group has allowed us all to be warned almost in real time of where these people were acting."
