A man was arrested by Lisbon's PSP for posing as a TVDE driver to commit robberies. The suspect approached his victims at public transport stops, where he threatened them with a knife to steal money and other valuables.
The individual is now in preventive detention, a measure aimed at keeping him in custody during the course of the judicial process. The Lisbon police authorities were responsible for the suspect's arrest.
The case draws attention to the risks associated with the use of individual passenger transport services, warning citizens of the need to verify drivers' identities before entering vehicles.
