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.
