The vehicle, stolen in October 2004 in São Paulo, was located during a routine approach. According to the PRF, the truck was driving with signs of tampering, such as modified plates and chassis.
The 35 -year -old driver said he had bought Saveiro for $ 1,800 about a year ago, but did not present documents proving the acquisition. The pickup had damage to the body and changes in the identification elements, which is a crime of tampering and receiving, according to the Brazilian Penal Code. The driver and the other occupants have been taken to the police station and will be able to take up to 10 years in prison.
The recovered model belongs to the Special Fun series, launched in 2001, and had items considered sophisticated for the time, such as power steering, alloy wheels and fog lights. Even with the low amount paid by the vehicle, well -preserved copies of this version can be worth almost ten times more.
The PRF said it was unable to contact the original owner and pointed out that such cases, although rare, are not unpublished. In June, a Corsa stolen in 1999 was also recovered after more than two decades.
