On Thursday afternoon, a man identified by the initials F. de A. da S. A. was arrested for attempting to steal a firearm from the guard’s lodging at the Central Office of Inquiries of the Court of Justice of Piauí (TJPI) in Picos, Brazil. The incident was captured by security cameras in the building, leading to a quick response from the authorities. Security personnel, who were monitoring the surveillance footage, noticed the man entering the premises and decided to approach him for questioning regarding his intentions.

Upon reaching the lodging area, the guard discovered the suspect had managed to take a weapon that was secured in that location. Upon confronting the individual, the guard issued an arrest command, restrained the suspect, and summoned additional police personnel to take him to the Central of Flagged Events in Picos. This incident underscores the potential security vulnerabilities at governmental facilities and the necessity for diligent monitoring and enforcement by law enforcement and security staff.

Interestingly, it was revealed that the suspect was already wanted by the police for another offense—stealing a bicycle on Tuesday morning in the neighborhood of Dner. His previous criminal activity likely contributed to the swift actions taken by law enforcement during this incident, as they were already aware of his criminal history and aimed to prevent further offenses as well as to maintain overall public safety.
