The crime occurred on the night of November 30, when more than 30 assailants besieged the city, invaded the Banco do Brasil branch in the center and fled. taking approximately R $ 80 million.
Most of the details and evidence of the crime that have been collected and are in charge of the State Directorate of Criminal Investigation (Deic), the Civil Police of Santa Catarina, cannot yet be released. “We are in a delicate moment. Almost all the work was broadcast live in photos and videos, whether for crime or police actions. Now we take control of the situation. One of the things we must work on is secrecy.

However, the delegate revealed further steps taken to gather evidence that could lead police to reach out to criminals. One of the reports was the arrest of two more suspects who were involved in the robbery in Criciúma, in addition to the events in northeast Brazil. “Only two prisons had been released in Gramado, but in fact, there were four. Not specifically in that city, but in that same action. We simply cannot give details of where it would have been. Today (day 9) we had a search warrant and seizure in the state of Ceará. Nor can we reveal what was seized, ”Cruz said.
Places where there have been arrests so far:
São Paulo (SP): a woman
São Leopoldo (RS): two men
Passo de Torres (SC): three men
Três Cachoeiras (RS): a man
Gramado (RS) and region: four men
Campinas (SP): a man and a woman
Blumenau (SC): a man
Police continue to search for information related to criminals in Criciúma. “It is possible and probable that the criminals used some property in the vicinity of the agency for months to observe the movement. We have not yet identified this location. We ask the Criciúma community for help, mainly the residents of the Center, to inform us about the movement of strangers in a certain department, for example, and that they have disappeared in recent days. This is not accusing someone, it is simply passing information to the police, who will then evaluate, analyze and check if there is any suspicion in that place, “he said.
Crime puzzle
The investigation is expected to take months. Legally, the investigation must be closed within 30 days of the crime, but the period can be extended. To explain the progress made in detailing the assault and identifying those involved, the delegate made an analogy relating the gathering of evidence to putting together a puzzle.
“The initial evidence we have collected will help build a new puzzle. And I make a metaphor. We can have a children’s puzzle, with 24 large pieces that form a small and easy to solve crime. In this case of the assault, despite the arrests that have already taken place and the number of criminal escapes, what happened from the first moment was identifying pieces to clarify a large and complex puzzle of 5,000 pieces. This information will be joined with other puzzles to put together the whole story. We are not in a time of unbridled search. We are following the legal procedures so that there are guarantees of the responsibility of those involved ”, he highlighted.
