According to an investigation carried out by the civilian police through the criminal investigation department, three men approached an 87-year-old elderly man in the Oficinas area, beat him and took his car.

The suspect is already in the police

In a car in the Humaita area, the accused attacked a 35-year-old woman and stole her purse. After several months of investigation, the Civil Police identified one of the perpetrators as a 23-year-old young man.

The civilian police therefore demanded preventive arrest of the accused, which was granted by the Tubaran Criminal Court. According to the DIC, while the judiciary was considering the police request, the suspect was arrested for a drug trafficking offence.
