On the morning of Tuesday, October 10, a 52-year-old driver in Presidente Prudente was attacked while he was organizing invoices in his truck. The incident occurred at Rua Alvino Gomes Teixeira when two suspects on a red motorcycle approached him. One of the assailants punched the driver in the face and demanded he hand over cash, managing to steal a bag containing R$ 5,000 before fleeing the scene.

The police were alerted shortly after the robbery, which was recorded at approximately 7:15 AM. The victim described the attack, emphasizing that despite the physical assault, the assailants did not appear to be armed with any firearms or knives. This detail suggests that while the robbery was violent, it may have been opportunistic rather than premeditated, although the use of force raises concerns about public safety in the area.

The robbery highlights a growing concern regarding crime in Presidente Prudente, particularly towards individuals working in transportation and logistics who may carry cash. Local authorities are often encouraged to enhance security measures and increase police presence in areas known for such incidents to deter future crimes and ensure public safety.
