According to the prime minister, the crime happened around 18:45 in front of a kindergarten in the city center. Witnesses said the mother followed her son to kindergarten when the man got into the victim’s Fiat Toro and took over driving.

In desperation, the mother, who had the baby in the car, was able to relay the location to the 190 Emergency Center. Searching officers were able to locate the car in the Bello area.

Seeing the garrisons, the man ended up hitting Toro in another car on Manaus Street and was arrested red-handed. Mother and child were rescued unharmed and doing well. The vehicle has been restored. The man had already been taken to the police station and remained at the disposal of the civilian police.
