In Mogi das Cruzes, Brazil, two men were arrested following a motorcycle theft that occurred on the night of Friday, 13th. The suspects broke into a house on Rua José Moretti, forcing the victim at gunpoint to surrender not only their motorcycle but also personal items including a bag and a mobile phone. The swift response of the military police, in collaboration with the Municipal Guard, was instrumental in apprehending the suspects shortly after the crime was reported.

The successful arrest was largely attributed to the technological capabilities of the victim's smartphone, which had a location tracking application installed. Police were able to pinpoint the phone's location to Rua Ernesto Ferreli in the Cocuera neighborhood, leading to the discovery of one suspect hiding in a wooded area. This technological advantage highlights the increasing importance of mobile devices in assisting law enforcement agencies in their crime-fighting efforts.

Furthermore, the second suspect was apprehended by the Municipal Guard near Rua Coronel Cardoso de Siqueira in the city's central area, where he was found in possession of a .32 caliber revolver. This incident raises concerns about the rising instances of armed robberies in the region, as well as the effectiveness of coordinated police efforts in ensuring public safety and reducing crime rates.
