has been arrested after 1:00 this morning, after remaining barricaded in his home for more than three hours in possession of a handgun, which has been seized by the agents.
During all this time, the Ertzaintza has

The Ertzaintza went to the suspect's home, who
refused to open it,

At around 12:15 am, agents from the
Ertzaintza intervention unit
accessed the home's portal and approximately one hour later the suspect was arrested, with no injuries being recorded.
