Police look for fake app driver who dopes and abuses victims in Manaus

A man identified as João Paulo Ferreira Quaresma is being investigated by the Manaus Civil Police for posing as an app driver to rob and rape victims in Manaus. The suspect has several police reports registered against him.

The investigations began after a victim went to the police station on December 18, 2023 to report that she had been drugged, robbed and raped by an app driver.

According to the woman, she got into the car around 2 am and fell unconscious after drinking water offered by João. She only woke up around 5 am lying on a street with several signs of violence.

Chief Alessandro Albino, director of the Metropolitan Police Department (DPM), reported that the suspect is dangerous and urged the public to exercise caution.

“We ask that people who use this means of transport avoid ingesting water, candy or candy offered by the driver, as this is the modus operandi of this offender. We have cases registered in several police stations in Manaus and we are converging on the prison, so that he can be removed from society as quickly as possible”, informed the delegate.

The case is investigated by delegate Rafael Allemand, head of the 23rd DIP.

The man is also being investigated for a case from February 11, when a 19-year-old woman stated that she requested a car via an app at around 4am and when the driver arrived, the profile did not match the one on the app.

The app showed a photo of a woman, but it said it would offer a cheaper price if the young man canceled the previous ride. After that, she offered him water, and he only woke up some time later, lying on the side of the street in an unknown location, already without his cell phone,” said Rafael Allemand.

During an action launched on Tuesday (9), the vehicle used in the crimes was seized.

The author already has a police record for the crime of robbery and was arrested in November 2017.
