civil guard officers left unguarded weapons and ammunition inside the cars, which were left with the doors unlocked and were later surrounded by demonstrators. the mossos were not informed that the cars contained weapons until the afternoon, at that point, the mossos used a helicopter to verify that no demonstrator entered inside the cars. eventually, the leaders of anc and òmnium, jordi sànchez and jordi cuixart, were notified there were weapons inside the cars too. at that point, anc volunteers expanded the human corridor and left the cars inside the corridor, so demonstrators had no access to them. an investigation from the newspaper "el món" in 2019, reported that none of the civil guard officers that left unguarded weapons inside the cars was sanctioned by the spanish ministry of the interior.
