National Police officers carried out a series of raids in three towns - Errenteria, Oiartzun and Arrasate - in Guipúzcoa province last night that resulted in ten arrests.

A number of properties were searched, including the homes of all the detained as well as at least one 'herriko taberna' social centre.

The detained are suspected of having been responsible for more than twenty minor acts of sabotage over the last three years, including various attacks on electricity substations and an arson attack on Rentería train station.

The ten suspects are also believed to belong to the banned Segi Basque separatist movement.

The operation, which remains open, was ordered by High Court judge, Fernando Grande Merlaska.
