During a personal search, the military police found 600 reais in cash on the teenager, as well as a key to a VW/Spacefox car. After reviewing the system, Garrison determined that the suspect had an active arrest warrant. He was taken to the Police Headquarters.

There, police discovered that a VW/Spacefox robbery had occurred that morning and that the perpetrators were two men. The owner of the car reported that he gave one of the criminals 600 reais to return the car. He also stated that he did not register the crime for fear of reprisals.

The car was found in the Pinheirinho area.

After the owner made the payment, the criminals demanded another 500 reais, but they were refused. The victim at the police center recognized the criminals and the car key. The car was found by another police officer in the Pinheirinho area, on the property of the person responsible for the robbery.

The Prime Minister registered a police report.
