Andorra Police Arrest Six for Assaults, Minor Sex Offense, Smuggling, Drugs

Andorra police arrested six individuals over the weekend across multiple parishes on charges ranging from violent assaults and a suspected sexual offence against a minor to tobacco smuggling, drug possession, and severe drink-driving.

In Andorra la Vella, officers detained a 22-year-old resident early Sunday morning for alleged offences against physical and moral integrity, privacy, and public health. Police say he accessed his ex-partner's phone without consent while she slept, then assaulted her after taking cocaine. He faced a judge soon after.

Canillo police arrested a 23-year-old man Friday afternoon after the Immediate Action Protocol was triggered at Hospital Nostra Senyora de Meritxell for a possible sexual assault on a minor.

Border operations by customs and police yielded several detentions. In Pas de la Casa, they intercepted a 24-year-old non-resident from a small group transporting bundles of restricted goods, seizing 2,700 packets of tobacco worth 10,573 euros. He also faces charges for breaching an expulsion order, classified as an offence against public function. Separately at the Franco-Andorran border, authorities arrested a 29-year-old non-resident for violating a similar expulsion order.

On Saturday night in Pas de la Casa, police detained a 30-year-old non-resident amid a public disturbance where he was heavily intoxicated. As officers handled another disruptive person, he obstructed them, tried to assault an officer, insulted and threatened both, resisted arrest, and caused injury. He faces charges related to public function, physical and moral integrity, liberty, and honour.

Overnight Saturday into Sunday in Andorra la Vella, officers arrested a 20-year-old man for causing disorder on a restaurant terrace. He insulted police aggressively and was linked to recent damage on nearby parked motorcycles, adding property damage to charges against public function and honour.

Earlier in the week at Riu Runer border controls, police arrested two 39-year-old tourists—one with one gram of cocaine, the other with 0.8 grams of tusi—for public health offences. Four drivers aged 21 to 49 were also detained for drink-driving, with blood alcohol levels from 1.04 to 2.40 grams per litre. Public tips prompted checks on the two most severe cases: one leaving an Andorra la Vella car park, the other exiting a restaurant.
