A 35-year-old woman was arrested in Manaus for allegedly deceiving a clinic employee to obtain keys to the establishment and stealing a sum totaling R$ 14,000. According to police reports, the suspect contacted the clinic through cell messages, fabricating a story about needing the keys to retrieve a laptop charger. The employee believed the explanation and handed over the keys, thinking they were helping a legitimate customer.

Once she gained access, the woman entered the clinic and stole R$ 14,000 in cash, taking advantage of the situation after successfully manipulating the employee’s trust. Following the theft, the investigation commenced after a police report was filed two days later, highlighting the urgency with which authorities are treating such crimes as they investigate the suspect’s actions and motives.

The case raises concerns about security protocols in clinics and medical establishments, suggesting that there may need to be stricter measures to verify identities before granting access, especially regarding sensitive locations that handle cash. As the investigation unfolds, law enforcement officials continue to look for any additional accomplices or patterns in similar crimes to prevent future incidents of this type in the region.
