The Police are investigating a violent dispute between an individual and a greengrocer owner in Arbúcies on the morning of Monday, December 15, debunking rumors of an armed robbery.

Accredited sources familiar with the case confirmed that, contrary to false information circulating on local WhatsApp groups, no robbery took place, and there is no evidence of any firearm involvement.
The dispute began outside the premises over a personal matter. The violent exchange involved two minor kicks and a hit with an empty fruit box, with neither party sustaining injuries. The aggressor subsequently left the scene.

The discussion generated significant confusion in the town of Arbúcies after unverified information circulated through messaging groups.

Three local witnesses from Arbúcies testified to the Police that the situation was merely a violent argument. The Arbúcies Town Hall confirmed that the case is under Police investigation to fully clarify the facts.
