In a surprising incident on Tuesday morning, a 35-year-old man was caught by the Military Police in Governador Valadares while attempting to cut electrical cables on the wall of a church. The authorities received reports that someone had jumped the wall of the church located in the Senhora de Lourdes neighborhood during the early hours, prompting a swift response from law enforcement. Upon their arrival, officers found the man actively damaging the power connection of the church.

The police reported that the man did not resist arrest and was taken to a hospital for a medical examination before being transferred to the local Civil Police station.
