A group of at least 14 masked thieves were recorded breaking into a Bajaj dealership in Brazil and escaping with more than 10 motorcycles.
The incident took place in the city of Itajaí, on the northern coast of the state of Santa Catarina in southern Brazil, early in the morning last Tuesday (13), according to information from the Military Police (PM).
In the footage from the security cameras of the place, the thieves are seen breaking the glass windows of the store before entering. A few seconds later they started to leave riding the motorcycles. The whole operation took less than three minutes.
According to local media, the manager of the agency explained that the motorcycle keys were left in the starter to make it easier to move the tools inside the compound. After the event, he stated that this procedure would be re-examined.
The police arrived at the scene around 02:40 in the morning to deal with the incident. According to the authorities, seven suspects have been arrested so far.
One of the suspects, an 18-year-old man, was found in a motel near the scene bleeding. He was taken to the hospital, where fractures were diagnosed in the tibia and tibia bone.
Three other suspects were arrested by the military police in the nearby cities of Camboriú and Balneário Camboriú: a 25-year-old man and two minors aged 17 and 16.
The Municipal Guard of Balenario Camborio also arrested two minors aged 16 and 15 who are suspected of being involved in the crime. A fifth minor was also arrested, but his location was not disclosed.
Of the 12 stolen motorcycles, all have been recovered, but seven suspects are still on the run. The police continue to search for the others involved.
“Initially they themselves admitted that they did not have any clear plan regarding the destination of the motorcycles – whether to resell them or use them,” said the police officer Ricardo Melloaccording to a report of g1.
“Some of them even decided at the last minute where to leave the motorcycles. It wasn’t one place; They hid them in places they thought were appropriate.’
