The PSP carried out, on September 7 and 8, an inspection operation on a plot of land in the Cabra Figa area, in Rio de Mouro. The action, conducted by the Police Inspection Brigade of the Sintra Police Division, came following information about alleged illegal vehicle repair activity and structures that could be being used for residential purposes.
During the operation, officers located two vehicles that were reported as stolen, proceeding with their seizure for subsequent restitution to the legitimate owners. In the vicinity and inside the plot, several vehicles in an apparent state of abandonment or intended for repair were also identified, some parked on the public road, a situation that was reported to the Sintra Municipal Police.
The PSP collected evidence that may indicate offenses in the environmental and urban planning areas. The potential vehicle repair activity may involve the production and storage of waste such as used oils, filters, batteries, and tires, without adequate storage and routing conditions. Elements related to sanitation and the existence of precarious structures likely to be used for residential purposes were also observed.
The inspection results were communicated to the Public Prosecutor's Office and the remaining competent authorities, which will proceed with the necessary measures.
