The Investigation Unit of the Mataró police station took over the case following the attack on January 17, 2026. According to official reports, a group of youths assaulted a couple without provocation, causing injuries that required medical assistance. During the assault, the attackers stole the man's wallet and damaged the woman's phone.
The incident gained significant public attention after videos of the assault were shared on social media. These viral clips caused social alarm in Argentona and played a crucial role in police work, as citizens provided information that helped Mossos d'Esquadra identify the suspects.
“"The investigation remains open and further identifications or actions are not ruled out."
In addition to the two arrests made last Monday, a third minor was criminally reported on January 22 after voluntarily appearing at the police station. The two recently arrested suspects have been handed over to the Juvenile Prosecutor's Office as the investigation continues.
