Arrest in Arratzua-Ubarrundia following raid on social club

An individual has been taken into custody in Arratzua-Ubarrundia, a municipality in the historical territory of Álava, after breaking into a txoko in the town and stealing items from inside.

The Basque regional police force made the arrest after receiving the corresponding report and conducting the necessary investigation to identify the alleged perpetrator. The social club, regularly used for activities by neighbourhood associations, sustained damage as a result of the forced entry.

According to information from the Ertzaintza, the arrested person was brought before the judicial authorities to answer for the facts. The offence falls within the category of theft with violence in commercial or social establishments.

Txokos constitute traditional meeting spaces in the Basque region, where groups of friends or entities carry out leisure and cultural activities. Raids on these facilities harm the associative activity of towns and require a forceful police response.
