The PSP carried out on September 7 and 8 an inspection operation on a land in the Cabra Figa area, in Rio de Mouro, based on information received about an alleged vehicle repair activity without legal framework and about structures that could be being used for residential purposes. The action was conducted by the Police Inspection Brigade of the Sintra Police Division.
During the operation, officers located two vehicles that were reported as stolen, proceeding with their seizure and the necessary procedures for subsequent return to the legitimate owners. In the vicinity of the land, several vehicles were also identified in an apparent state of abandonment or destined for repair, some parked on the public road, a situation that was reported to the Sintra Municipal Police.
The PSP collected evidence indicating possible irregularities in the criminal, environmental, and urban areas. The possible vehicle repair activity may involve the production and storage of waste such as used oils, filters, batteries, and tires, and elements related to sanitation and precarious structures susceptible to residential use were also observed.
The inspection result was reported to the Public Prosecutor's Office and the remaining competent authorities, which will proceed with the necessary procedures in the areas of urban planning, construction, health, and environment.
