The PSP in Faro arrested two suspects yesterday morning, for breaking in and theft from restaurants in Faro city centre.
In a statement, the police said that “in the early hours of the morning, a theft from inside a restaurant was reported to the Faro Police Station, and police forces were promptly called to respond to the situation”.
The police went to the establishment in question and with the collaboration of the owner, “using the video surveillance system installed in the establishment, they found that two suspects had broken one of the windows in the entrance door, then entered the building and stole a cash register that had around 100 euros in coins inside”.
The physical characteristics and clothing of the suspects were immediately disseminated by all police resources on duty in the city, “and they were intercepted shortly afterwards, still in the vicinity of the restaurant.
The men, aged 46 and 55, were carrying “a large quantity of coins and bottles of spirits, which were found to have originated from the crime they had just committed and from two others, with the same characteristics, all recorded in the previous hours and which, given the evidence and proof collected in the meantime, they are assumed to be responsible for”.
The detainees will now be subject to their first judicial interrogation to determine the coercive measures to which they will be subject.
