A 21-year-old man was arrested in Tortosa this midday following a joint police operation by the Mossos d'Esquadra and the Local Police, accused of alleged robbery.

The alert was received at 1:12 PM, and the incident took place on Sant Ildefons street. According to police sources, officers had to pursue the suspect, who fled across rooftops and through light wells, before he could be apprehended.
In a separate incident last Friday, police officers and Firefighters had to intervene near the bus station. An individual had boarded a bus and refused to disembark for approximately half an hour. The man eventually exited the vehicle voluntarily.
