Tudela Local Police carried out six arrests over the weekend, according to noticiasdenavarra.com. The arrests include a man accused of gender-based violence, several for assaults on law enforcement officers, threats and armed robbery at a supermarket.
The most serious case involves a 33-year-old man arrested on Saturday at 15:30 in Constitution Square. Two witnesses witnessed an argument between the man and a 41-year-old woman, during which the man slapped and insulted the victim before fleeing when confronted by one of the witnesses. When officers arrived, they identified the woman with injuries to her face. She reported continuous violent episodes by her partner. The victim was taken to Accident and Emergency for treatment of her injuries and filed a complaint. The man was later located by another patrol and arrested on suspicion of domestic abuse, gender-based violence and grievous bodily harm, and was transferred to Foral Police cells.
In another incident on Friday at 01:00, a 26-year-old man was identified near Paseo del Queiles threatening and insulting his ex-partner and her current partner, both young women. The victims reported that it is recurrent for him to insult them when he sees them, although they were not assaulted. As the suspect was fully identified, he remains pending a complaint.
On Friday at 14:45, on Gardachales Street, a 38-year-old man was arrested as the suspected perpetrator of assault on a law enforcement officer. Several customers of a café reported that the man was acting violently inside the establishment, haranguing the waitresses. Officers ascertained that he was quite aggressive and that he hit a police officer in the chest without her expecting it. He was transferred to Foral Police cells.
On Saturday at 03:35, in the leisure area of the old town, a 26-year-old man was arrested for suspected offences of disobedience, threats and assault on law enforcement officers. Night shift patrols responded to a call about a fight between two women outside a venue. An officer attempted to park the patrol vehicle nearby and indicated to the young man to close the patrol car door that he had opened. The young man disregarded the indication even after being told up to five times. Once the initial fight was brought under control, when attempting to identify the young man, he attacked the officer aggressively with serious threats. Despite being held back by some friends, he did assault the officer. During his arrest he continued threatening another officer and his family members. He was admitted to Foral Police cells.
On Saturday at 19:00 an armed robbery occurred at a supermarket on Paseo de los Poetas. A 29-year-old man attempted to shoplift products worth 30 euros without going through the till. A member of staff instructed him to remove the products he was carrying on his person and detained him until the arrival of patrols. The suspect pushed the workers and attempted to flee, but was intercepted by Local Police and arrested, and was transferred to Foral Police cells.
On Monday at approximately 12:45 two men aged 24 and 27, both of no fixed abode, were arrested for suspected offences of disobedience, resistance and assault on a law enforcement officer. The incident occurred an hour earlier when the owner of a restaurant in the old town requested police assistance regarding a theft. A young man had taken an iPad belonging to the company. Through footage from the business's cameras and those of the city, a still image of the suspected perpetrator was obtained.
An hour later, officers located a man in Plaza de los Fueros who matched the description and clothing. When requesting his documents, he hit one of the officers and fled down Paseo del Queiles. After being pursued, he threw an object into some bushes. Despite officers instructing him to stop, he continued his flight and had to be restrained by the officers.
