The suspect vehicle did not respect the arrest warrant and took flight. Purposely collided with a PSP car, rendering it useless. Police officers still fired several shots, but the suspects managed to escape.
This morning, the PSP was alerted to a robbery with a home invasion in a bakery in the Barreiro area, in Setúbal. Means were immediately deployed to try to intercept the criminals.
At 4.35 am, on Rua Henrique Galvão, in Barreiro, the policemen, who were traveling in duly characterized patrols, detected the vehicle used by the suspects, a vehicle that later turned out to be stolen.
Officers gave the suspect vehicle an “unequivocal stop order” using sirens and light signals from the patrol cars.
The suspects ignored the order and fled, following the police in pursuit.
“It collided violently and deliberately”
“During the pursuit, the suspect vehicle stopped abruptly, reversed at high speed and crashed violently and decisively into a patrol car, which was damaged and immobilized on the spot,” reports the PSP.

The police fired shots
The statement from the PSP National Directorate adds that during the approach, “the policemen fired with a firearm in circumstances that will be investigated.
The PSP initiated the subsequent investigation to find out the circumstances surrounding the police intervention. Two elements of the PSP Inspection were brought to the site for initial analysis and evaluation. The incident was also reported to the Judicial Police (PJ) and the General Inspectorate of Internal Administration (IGAI).
The police force calls on all citizens who have knowledge, directly or indirectly, about the incident described and the perpetrators of the crime, to take the initiative to contact PSP do Barreiro.
