The Pará Civil Police reported having identified four suspects of participating in the robbery of the Banco do Brasil in the early hours of Tuesday (1st), in the municipality of Cametá, located 234 km from Belém. Searches continue in the region and, according to police, investigations are advanced. The robbery took place a day after that of Criciúma (SC) and was surprising due to the similarity of characteristics.

The 20 assailants divided into two groups and terrorized the city. One group shot at the headquarters of the PM (Military Police), while the other shot at people who were in a hostage bar. Alessandro de Jesus Lopes de Moraes, 26, who was used as a human shield by bandits, died. A Cametá resident was hit by a bullet inside the house; he was seen in the city hospital and is not at risk of death.

The Secretary of Public Security, Ualame Machado, believes that criminals are still hiding in the forest. “We have teams with forays into the forest. A group is already practically identified, at least some participants of this group are already identified, and this was possible due to the knowledge of the teams of previous situations of the people involved and also due to the evidence revealed in the statements of hostages and witnesses and for analyze the videos, ” said the secretary.

According to Machado, the images collected by cameras near the bank and provided by the agency are being analyzed. In addition, he claimed that there were 38 kilos of dynamite in one of the vehicles. “There is evidence of the weapons used by the group such as cartridges and other items,” he said.

Two vehicles used by the gang in Cametá have already been identified. Today, the car of one of the hostages that was used by the criminals was rescued from the interior of the Itaperuçu river, in the neighboring municipality of Baião, in Lower Tocantins. Inside were fragments of explosives and projectiles.

The experts will analyze another vehicle found at Km 40 of the Transcametá highway. All the material collected in it, such as cartridges and biological material, will be analyzed by the expert. “These are important vestiges that will help to identify the perpetrators, but we keep it secret so as not to harm the investigations of the Civil Police,” said Celso Mascarenhas, general director of the Renato Chaves Expert Scientific Center, in a report by Agência Pará.

According to the chief of police, Walter Resende, the investigations are well advanced. “We have already heard witnesses, we had access to the images of the internal circuit and we are taking steps to clarify the case as soon as possible and arrest the criminals,” he emphasized.

The teams of the Coordination of Operations and Special Resources (CORE) continue in the city carrying out errands together with the military police garrison.
