In a shocking incident that occurred on Sunday at approximately 5:45 PM, criminals were filmed looting the cargo of a truck that was stuck in traffic on the Régis Bittencourt highway near Juquitiba, São Paulo. The footage shared on social media captured the moment four men approached the back of the vehicle, opened the cargo door, and began their theft methodically. One of the thieves entered the cargo area and started throwing items out to his accomplices, who quickly gathered the stolen goods and placed them on the median strip of the highway.

The highway's concessionaire, Arteris, has stated that incidents like these are reported to the Federal Highway Police (PRF), although they did not confirm whether this specific case had been communicated. The G1 news outlet made an inquiry to the PRF about the incident but had not received a response before the article's publication deadline. Meanwhile, the São Paulo Security Public Secretariat (SSP-SP) is also involved in the follow-up of this crime, which demonstrates ongoing concerns over safety and crime on highways in Brazil.

This incident raises significant concerns regarding highway safety, especially on busy routes like the Régis Bittencourt. Such thefts can not only endanger those involved but also disrupt traffic and create broader implications for law enforcement in maintaining security along major transport corridors. As more footage of the theft circulates online, it puts additional pressure on authorities to respond effectively to such brazen criminal acts and implement measures to prevent similar occurrences in the future.
