The government of Amazonas has released a list of nearly 300 recovered cell phones owners as part of the RecuperaFone program, allowing them to retrieve their stolen or lost devices in Manaus.
The government of Amazonas has announced the names of nearly 300 individuals whose stolen or lost cell phones have been recovered through the RecuperaFone initiative by the state’s Public Security Secretariat (SSP-AM). This announcement was made as part of a public call for the retrieval of these devices. The affected owners can collect their phones starting Monday, April 16, during the designated hours from 9 AM to 4 PM, at the RecuperaFone headquarters located in the Adrianópolis neighborhood of Manaus.
To successfully retrieve their phones, owners must bring a valid identification document and proof of ownership, which can be a police report, fiscal note, or even the original box of the device. This initiative aims to reduce the number of stolen mobile phones in the city and encourages owners to reclaim their property after thefts have been reported. This particular announcement marks the first in 2026 for the RecuperaFone program, illustrating a focus by local authorities on improving public safety and accountability.
The program's efforts are part of a broader strategy to enhance security measures in Manaus, where incidents of mobile phone thefts and burglaries are reportedly on the rise. By facilitating the recovery of stolen devices, the government hopes to not only reclaim property for the victims but also to deter future thefts by reinforcing the importance of reporting such crimes. This initiative not only serves to help individuals but also positions the local government as proactive in tackling crime and supporting its residents.
