The Territorial Command of the GNR in Castelo Branco, through the Criminal Investigation Unit, arrested an individual for theft in a residence in the Castelo Branco area. The suspect entered the house using a false key, a method that allowed him to access the interior without breaking doors or windows.

The authorities seized at the time of the arrest several stolen goods, including perfumes, game consoles and computers. The articles indicate that the suspect was intercepted while still in possession of the stolen goods.

The Criminal Investigation Unit of Castelo Branco was the unit responsible for the investigation and the operation that led to the capture of the presumed perpetrator of the crime. The case involved an investigation that allowed the identification of the method used by the suspect to access the dwelling.
