The lack of safety in Brazil is quite common. Travelers are usually warned about possible problems with crime, but it should also be noted: locals are not strangers to this situation. A worrying incident took place in Brazil when a woman was approached by two men.

Officers from the Metropolitan Military Police were patrolling Carnaúba Street (Brazil) when, while crossing the street to access Epiacaba Street, in Sacomã, they saw two individuals trying to steal a woman’s car and decided to act.

The team managed to immediately stop the robbery and arrest the criminals. One of them was already inside the vehicle. The entire action was captured by a security camera. The criminals were taken to the 26th Police District, where the investigation continued. Here is the video:
