'Most-wanted' ETA suspects arrested

Madrid, Spain (CNN) -- Police arrested four of the "most-wanted" suspected members of the Basque separatist group ETA overnight in France and Portugal, including one who stole a police car to try to escape, Spain's Interior Ministry said Sunday in a statement.

The first of the operations against ETA started late Saturday when Spanish Civil Guards in the village of Bermillo de Sayago, near the Portuguese border, stopped a man driving a suspicious van, the statement said. The van contained explosives, weapons and documentation, and while Civil Guards were checking it, the man stole a police car and fled to nearby Portugal. Spanish authorities immediately contacted Portuguese police, who quickly arrested the suspect in the stolen patrol car.
