A pedestrian in Juiz de Fora, Brazil, became a victim of a brazen daylight robbery in the Cascatinha neighborhood on Saturday morning. The incident happened around 11:55 AM on Miguel Mansur Street and was captured by security cameras from a nearby establishment. In the footage, the victim can be seen walking along the sidewalk when he is approached by four suspects riding two motorcycles, highlighting the audacity of the criminals in a semi-busy area.

As the suspects closed in, the victim attempted to flee but was soon cornered. Despite the presence of other vehicles, including a car passing close to the scene, the assailants were undeterred. They successfully stole a chain and a mobile phone before making their escape. The incident raises concerns about safety and security in urban areas, especially during the daytime when such crimes can occur with impunity.

Following the robbery, the Military Police conducted searches in the vicinity but have not yet identified or apprehended any suspects. The case has been handed over to the Civil Police for further investigation. This incident is part of a worrying trend of increasing crime rates in certain urban areas, and it underlines the urgent need for enhanced police presence and public safety initiatives to protect citizens from such violent acts.
