Man escapes from police with stolen car, crashes into wall and is arrested in Sorocaba

According to the Military Police, a team was patrolling around 11:40 pm when it ordered the driver to stop, who disobeyed it and began a high-speed escape through several streets in the neighborhood.

During the monitoring, the police discovered via the system that the vehicle had been stolen hours earlier in the Vila Lucy neighborhood. The chase ended when the driver lost control and crashed into the wall of a house.

After the crash, the two occupants abandoned the vehicle and attempted to flee on foot. The passenger managed to escape and was not located. The driver jumped the wall of the affected property, broke into a house in the back, changed his clothes and returned to the street, where he was found and detained by the police.

When questioned, the man stated that he fled out of fear and denied knowing that the car was stolen. The victim of the robbery attended the police station, but was unable to make formal recognition, as the perpetrator of the crime was wearing a helmet at the time of the robbery.

The case was registered at the police station in the north of Sorocaba. The suspect was arrested red-handed for malicious reception and driving without a license causing danger of harm. The car was returned to the owner.
