MADRID, Oct 18 (Reuters) – Two people were arrested on suspicion ​of terrorism offences ‌in Spain’s northwestern Basque Country, police said on Sunday.

A 34-year-old man and ‌a ​woman, 22, ⁠who are both ⁠Spanish but who have not been named, are under investigation after ​a police search on September 26.

“Among ⁠the items ⁠seized was information ​concerning security forces, as ​well as the potential ‌location of a site containing materials — presumably weapons and explosives,” ⁠said a statement from the Ertzaintza, the Basque regional ⁠police.

Police ‌did not say ⁠if the suspects ​were ‌held in custody. ​Both ⁠will appear before Spain’s National Court at a later date.
