Robbery suspects killed by police identified

The case happened late in the afternoon on Monday (22). In the images taken at the store in the Santa Bárbara Sector, it is possible to see that the two suspects approach the saleswoman. They enter, announce the robbery, take several products and put them in a backpack. The seller doesn’t react and after the action, they run away.

According to the Military Police, the store owner tried to chase the suspects through the streets and at one point in the Santa Fé Sector, also in the southern region of the capital, he even crashed his car into the vehicle that the suspects used to escape, along with fur. least one partner.

Another camera recorded the exact moment that Cael and Markson abandoned the car they were in and ran into the woods. Soldiers from the Shock Police Battalion (BPChoque), who had been called by the victim while still in pursuit, arrived at the point where the suspects were killed in the confrontation.

For Major Marcos Morais, PM spokesperson, there was active resistance on the part of the suspects, which means that they did not heed the police order to stop, to put their hands on their heads, so that they could be identified and taken to the police station. police station.

“When reacting to the natural approach, it is necessary for the police to avoid this aggression and until this aggression stops, that is what was done. They were shot, we called for medical assistance from Samu, the firefighters, and they died in the location,” he explained.

According to the major, as there was a person driving the getaway vehicle, the police believe that there is at least a third person involved in the case.

“We continue our efforts to locate him. This individual was certainly also there outside the store at the time of the robbery to provide this support. This is their way of acting. Normally when they commit this type of robbery, especially with a firearm fire, they have the support of someone to facilitate this escape”, he stated.

Even with the act of going after the suspects, as the owner of the robbed store did, the Military Police’s recommendation in these cases is not to react.

“Like the example of the girl who works at the store, stay calm. Don’t react because if you don’t have the conditions to do so, the result certainly can’t be good. And these people, in addition to those who are there in person, armed, as they even showed For her, there are people out there supporting her. So it doesn’t make up for this reaction in an unanalyzed way.”

The police reported that the victim’s attitude, of chasing the suspects and even hitting their car, may have been inconsequential due to nervousness. “It’s not a safe attitude, it’s not a correct attitude. Ideally, he would do this monitoring from a distance, simply to know where they would end up and to pass this information on to the police. It’s the police who should approach criminals” , said Major Moraes.

Regarding the time of the crime, in broad daylight, the police stated that the action was bold on the part of the suspects.

“They are habitual criminals, so the time for them no longer makes a difference, but it draws attention to us, to the population. The police maintain policing, we know that we have a very large city, a very large population for the amount of police. Preventive policing is important and has been carried out”, he stated, highlighting that police actions are managing to arrest criminal suspects in the city.

If citizens have information about the third person involved in the crime, they can contact the Military Police on 190 or notify a member of the military who is on the city streets. The identity of the complainant will be kept confidential.
