In Diamantino, Brazil, a 16-year-old apprentice was apprehended after he hid a firearm in a supermarket's cold chamber. The police were alerted to a male motorcyclist allegedly armed and patrolling the downtown area. Upon spotting the motorcycle, police initiated a pursuit after the young suspect attempted to flee at high speeds.

The adolescent was eventually caught and questioned about the weapon. He confessed to leaving the firearm in the supermarket where he worked, clarifying that the store manager was unaware of the presence of the weapon. Following this information, officers searched the supermarket and located the firearm concealed in a plastic bag inside the cold storage area.

This incident raises concerns about youth involvement in illegal activities and gun access in Brazil, particularly in the context of rising violence in urban areas. It also highlights the challenges law enforcement faces in controlling illegal firearms amongst younger populations. The actions taken by the police underscore the importance of community awareness and vigilance against such incidents.
