A firearm was stolen from a Military Police (PM) vehicle during a response to a noise disturbance incident in Uberlândia, Brazil, on the night of Sunday, October 8. This incident occurred on Pau Furado Road near the location where a female horseback riding event, known as the Amazonas de Udia, was taking place. Social media footage shows a PM helicopter surveying the area of the theft that night, highlighting the urgency of the situation.

According to the PM's official statement, the theft took place amidst their response to complaints of noise disturbance related to the horseback riding event. The police confirmed that a suspect managed to steal the weapon while officers were occupied with the event. Following the incident, the PM has launched operations to locate the stolen firearm and apprehend the suspect. However, officials have mentioned that releasing details about their ongoing efforts might compromise the investigation.

The organization of the Amazonas de Udia horseback riding event has also acknowledged the incident, although they have not provided specific comments on security arrangements in light of the theft. This event was intended to promote community engagement and tourism in the area, but the theft raises concerns about public safety and police operational integrity. The ongoing search for the suspect highlights the challenges faced by law enforcement in ensuring community safety while managing public events.
