Two men, aged 37 and 29, were arrested by the Specialized Police Station for the Repression of Vehicle Theft (DEFURV) on Friday, following their alleged involvement in a crime ring that stole more than 30 new motorcycles in Campo Grande, Brazil. This operation also led to the recovery of some recently stolen vehicles. The investigation began after a motorcycle theft on February 25 in the Royal Park neighborhood, prompting the police to conduct discreet searches as they had been monitoring a series of similar thefts in the area.

The police utilized security camera footage from the night after the motorcycle was stolen to identify the suspects and the method of the crime. Investigators discovered that the suspects employed a specific technique where they would break the ignition lock to start the motorcycles, a method that had been used in other recent thefts. With this information and various evidence collected during the investigation, the police were able to piece together the suspects' operations and locate the motorcycle used to transport the stolen vehicles.

The arrest of these individuals highlights the ongoing issue of motorcycle theft in Campo Grande and underscores the efforts of local law enforcement to combat such criminal activities. The investigation is ongoing, and authorities encourage residents to remain vigilant and report any suspicious activities in their neighborhoods.
