Man arrested with false identity and for endangering a child on Via Dutra in Piraí

A man was arrested on Via Dutra in Piraí, Brazil, for using a false identity and for endangering a child found in the truck's cargo area.

On Saturday, October 7, a man was apprehended on Via Dutra, near Piraí, in Brazil, after he was found to be using a false identity and had exposed a child to danger. The incident occurred at kilometer 233 when agents from the Federal Highway Police stopped a pickup truck during a routine check. The vehicle's driver did not have a valid driver's license (CNH), and the passenger attempted to present a digital version of another individual's license, claiming it was his.

Upon further investigation, the officers uncovered the true identity of the man, who had been driving with a revoked license since January of the previous year. Additionally, while inspecting the vehicle, police found a child lying in the truck's cargo area amidst some boxes, without any safety measures in place. This situation raised serious concerns about the child's safety and wellbeing.

The case not only highlights issues related to traffic violations and the use of false documentation but also brings attention to child endangerment in transportation settings. Authorities are expected to take necessary actions against the individual for these offenses, ensuring that measures are enforced to prevent such dangerous situations in the future, particularly involving children.
