The Civil Police arrested this Thursday (23) a man suspected of breaking into the home of an elderly couple, attacking one of the victims and stealing the residents’ belongings. The crime took place on January 17th in Miracema, in the interior of Rio de Janeiro, and was recorded by security cameras.
See the moment of the invasion:
Pedro Alberto dos Santos Júnior, 36 years old, was identified after tracking carried out by the 137th DP (Miracema). The suspect already had convictions for theft and drug trafficking and, according to police, confessed to having committed the crime to pay debts related to drug use.
After the crime, the investigation, under the command of delegate Gesner César Bruno, retraced the criminal’s route. It was possible to identify that he monitored the victims’ homes days before the incident. The property was known to the suspect, as his father provided services to the elderly couple.
During investigations, police recovered the stolen cell phone, in addition to the cap worn by the suspect.
“Based on this intelligence and investigation information, I filed, with the Judiciary, a representation requesting the preventive detention of the perpetrator of the crime”, stated delegate Gesner César Bruno.
In addition to the preventive arrest warrant, the Court authorized the execution of search and seizure warrants at the residences of the suspect and his father. Both were fulfilled this Thursday (23).
The robbery
Security cameras captured the moment a thief broke into the home of an elderly couple. The action took place on Friday night (17). In the images, it is possible to see the elderly man going to the room door after someone called. As soon as he opens the door, he is surprised by the criminal, who tries to force entry.
Despite resisting and trying to close the door, the elderly man is pushed and falls violently to the ground. The robber, who had his face covered, closes the door and curtains to avoid being seen. He then extends his hand to help the elderly man up, but continues with the robbery.
On the sofa in the living room, was the elderly man’s wife, who, according to the Civil Police, has Alzheimer’s, accompanied by a caregiver. Before the invasion, the victims were watching television, and the caregiver even asked who was at the door. The criminal fled with a cell phone and a sum of money.
The 10th subsection of the Brazilian Bar Association (OAB) in Miracema issued a note of repudiation, highlighting that the elderly man attacked is a lawyer. In the text, the OAB highlighted that the act not only violated fundamental rights, but also violated the inviolability and respect that law represents as an essential basis of justice.
