In Taubaté, Brazil, a 34-year-old man was apprehended by the Civil Police on charges of identity fraud and scam targeting the elderly. Authorities discovered that he was in possession of multiple bank cards stolen from senior citizens when they acted on a tip regarding his illicit activities.

The Civil Police's DEIC division conducted an operation after receiving information about an imminent delivery of fraudulent bank cards. Surveillance was established in Quiririm, and they caught the suspect in action as he took delivery of several cards. During the arrest process, the man attempted to impersonate another individual, claiming to be the owner of one of the bank cards being delivered.

Upon further investigation, law enforcement searched a property associated with the suspect and uncovered not only a multitude of bank cards but also payment machines and personal documents belonging to elderly individuals. This case highlights growing concerns about fraud targeting vulnerable populations, especially seniors, and the ongoing efforts by authorities to combat such criminal activities.
