A 39-year-old Andorran resident with multiple prior offences was arrested shortly before midnight on Wednesday after punching and shattering the display window of an auto parts shop on Avinguda Santa Coloma in Andorra la Vella.

The incident took place just after 10pm near number 26, in a lively area where nearby bars remained open. The man struck the glass with full force, creating a loud crash that alerted witnesses from surrounding establishments and apartments. Shop owners and staff quickly described the suspect to arriving officers, who detained him within a minute nearby.

Police noted the man was under the influence of alcohol at the time and acted out of anger to vent his frustration.
