Matheus Vinicius Schmiedel Falcão, a 21-year-old from Vitória, was apprehended by municipal guards after stealing a Chevrolet Celta and heading to the beach at Ilha do Frade. The incident occurred when he took the vehicle, which had just been reported stolen that day from the Santo Antônio neighborhood in Vitória. After enjoying some time at the beach, he was later caught due to a proactive monitoring system.

The arrest was facilitated by the municipality's surveillance system, known as Cerco Inteligente, which identified the stolen vehicle through video surveillance. The quick reporting of the theft by the victim to local police also played a critical role in the timely recovery of the car. The municipal guards, using the information provided and real-time monitoring, were able to track down Falcão and apprehend him while he was still in the vicinity of the beach.

This case highlights not only the issue of vehicle theft in urban areas but also the effectiveness of modern surveillance technologies in assisting law enforcement. Falcão's actions, which led to a light-hearted beach outing but resulted in his arrest, reflect a common mindset among some individuals who underestimate the risks associated with criminal behavior, believing they can evade consequences despite technological advancements.
