A driver was arrested on the BR-230 highway in Fronteiras, Brazil, for operating a stolen truck loaded with cookies. The arrest took place on Saturday, October 21, when the vehicle was intercepted by the Piauí State Police. Authorities reported that the driver is suspected to be part of a criminal organization known for cargo theft, with numerous criminal records from states in the Northeast region of Brazil.

The stolen truck had been taken only moments earlier on BR-316, between the municipalities of Vila Nova do Piauí and Campo Grande do Piauí. Following the robbery, police units from nearby towns set up barriers and started pursuing the possible escape routes of the driver. The police strategy was effective, as the vehicle was spotted near a cemetery along the highway, and tactical tracking was initiated to apprehend the suspect.

Although the driver initially failed to obey the police order to stop, he was ultimately caught and arrested in the act. Details about his identity have not been fully disclosed, but this incident highlights ongoing issues of organized crime in Brazil linked to cargo theft, raising concerns about safety and the impact on local businesses.
