The Civil Police of Brazil have intensified their investigation into the recent murders of two municipal guards in Portel, Pará, leading to the arrest of two additional suspects in the rural area of Senador José Porfírio. These arrests follow the identification of the criminals involved in the attack, which was reportedly orchestrated by a local criminal group. According to Delegate Maurício Pires, the police have successfully mapped out the escape routes used by the suspects and pinpointed the area where they hid after the crime.

The police had been conducting searches for seven days, utilizing information gathered from the investigation that indicated the suspects had fled to a wooded area in southeastern Pará, where they were allegedly supported by other gang members. The police disclosed that the weapons used in the attack were recovered during their operations, as they focused on a port area known for logging activities. This strategic location was crucial for the suspects' concealment and escape.

These developments highlight the ongoing confrontation between law enforcement and organized crime in the region, raising concerns about public safety and the increasing violence linked to criminal groups in Brazil. The community in Portel is still reeling from the shocking loss of the municipal guards, and there is a growing call for effective measures to address the underlying issues contributing to such violent incidents.
