According to information from the Civil Police, the man is from São João de Meriti, in Baixada Fluminense, and worked together with another accomplice, who was not located, but has already been identified by the police authorities.
The arrest occurred after monitoring the vehicle used by the criminals to commit crimes in the city.

The Cidade Monitorada system, maintained by the city of Volta Redonda, through the municipal secretariat of Public Order, detected the vehicle’s entry into the municipality at 9 am, and the car began to be monitored by police teams.
At around 11:30 am, an 80-year-old woman came to the headquarters of the 93rd DP, reporting that she had been the victim of a robbery inside a bank branch in Vila Santa Cecília by two men who, at the time, offered her help at the ATMs. Shortly afterwards, the victim realized that R$3,500 had been withdrawn from her account.
Based on the data collected and monitoring, the agents arrested the suspect, at around 11:40 am, as he entered the vehicle in the Aterrado neighborhood, close to a bank branch. The accomplice, already identified, was not located.
