A suspect linked to a specialized cargo theft gang was apprehended on the Régis Bittencourt highway in Cajati, São Paulo. This arrest followed the individual's attempt to escape during a police operation monitoring an accident involving a truck and trailer. When federal agents responded to the incident, they noticed two suspicious motorcyclists near the exposed cargo. The motorcycle plates were either tampered with or concealed, raising suspicions among the officers present.

The Federal Highway Police (PRF) attempted to stop the motorcyclists as they approached the accident scene, but instead of complying, the riders sped away, sparking a chase. During the pursuit, the suspect fell off the motorcycle and was subsequently arrested. Meanwhile, another accomplice managed to escape and is currently on the run, prompting a manhunt.

This incident highlights ongoing issues related to cargo theft in Brazil, which poses significant challenges not only to law enforcement but also to the logistics and transport industries. The violence associated with cargo theft operations has been increasing, prompting local authorities to strengthen measures and surveillance efforts to combat these crimes effectively.
