The military police were called to record the incident and, upon arriving at the scene, found that the suspect had already been immobilized by the firemen. When asked about the motive for the theft, the defendant told police that he was trying to steal a car to “help his brother because he is losing his sight,” he said. The suspect also stated that he had consumed alcohol.

However, according to police, moments before the carjacking attempt, the man was already in front of a group of military firefighters, but they had no physical contact with the garrison, only

verbal. He also called the military police when he yelled in front of the stage.

After recording the incident, the man was detained and taken to the civilian police department. He was arrested for crimes such as attempted theft of government property, threats, resistance, contempt and disobedience.
