The Mossos d'Esquadra arrested two men, aged 21 and 33, in Tàrrega on Tuesday for their alleged involvement in a burglary at an uninhabited residential property.

The incident occurred in the afternoon on Sant Agustí street. The homeowner alerted the Catalan police after noticing a broken window. Upon arrival, officers heard suspicious noises coming from the upper floor of the building.
The suspects attempted to flee by jumping from a terrace into the interior courtyards of neighboring houses. Police patrols quickly surrounded the area and detained both men, who were already known to authorities due to their multiple prior offenses.
One of the men was found in possession of stolen items later identified by the owner. The detainees were brought before a judge in Cervera on Wednesday.
