In a dramatic incident in Bauru, São Paulo, a 35-year-old man was arrested after holding his ex-girlfriend captive in a rural property. The police were alerted by the victim's sister, who received a distress message from the victim indicating her dire situation. Upon receiving the call, law enforcement swiftly mobilized, encompassing special police units like the Batalhão de Operações Especiais (Baep) and the Grupo de Ações Táticas Especiais (Gate), indicating the severity of the situation.

The operation to apprehend the suspect unfolded over the course of four hours. Upon arrival, the police established a secure perimeter around the residence. However, the suspect refused to exit the premises, which delayed the rescue operation. During the standoff, law enforcement discovered that the perpetrator was monitoring their actions through a network of security cameras he had set up, illustrating a calculated effort to evade capture and maintain control over the situation.

Ultimately, the police were able to secure the victim and arrest the suspect, who was then taken to the Delegacia de Defesa da Mulher (DDM) in Bauru. This case underscores ongoing issues regarding domestic violence and the lengths to which perpetrators will go to control and threaten victims, highlighting the important role of law enforcement and community vigilance in addressing such incidents.
