The Civil Police in Brazil arrested three men suspected of engaging in different robberies in the Lakes Region of Rio during actions executed over the weekend of February 21-22. These operations took place in Cabo Frio and Iguaba Grande, led primarily by teams from the 126th DP, with the support of Military Police and intelligence sectors. One significant arrest targeted a man with a prior conviction for qualified robbery, who had been sentenced to over 18 years in prison.

During a coordinated effort involving law enforcement from Cabo Frio, Iguaba, São Pedro da Aldeia, and Arraial do Cabo, the suspect attempted to flee towards the Lakes Region but was intercepted in Iguaba Grande and taken to the police station to serve a judicial order. The operations emphasize the collaborative approach of various police departments in tackling crime in the area, particularly amidst rising concerns over safety and crime in urban locales.

The arrest of the three men is part of ongoing efforts by the Civil Police to enhance public safety and respond to community concerns about robberies and other criminal activities. As they continue to follow leads on criminal suspects, such operations are crucial for deterring crime and restoring public confidence in law enforcement across the Lakes Region of Rio.
