Two men, aged 24 and 34, were arrested by the Public Security Police in Caldas da Rainha, in the district of Leiria. The suspects are allegedly responsible for a robbery of a parcel delivery vehicle in the Rinchoa area, in Rio de Mouro, in the Sintra region.
The police operation resulted in the seizure of a replica firearm, which was reportedly used in the commission of the carjacking crime. The authorities did not reveal further details about the method used in the robbery of the vehicle.
The arrested individuals were intercepted by the PSP outside the area where the crime reportedly occurred, specifically in Caldas da Rainha, which suggests they attempted to flee after the robbery.
The authorities did not specify whether the suspects have already been brought before court or what precautionary measures were applied. The case is being investigated by the competent police authorities.
