Suspect of dressing as a woman to steal from a building in DF has already posed as a real estate agent in other crimes; remember

Suspected of dressing as a woman to break into and steal an apartment in Asa Norte, Bruno da Silva Ribeiro has already pretended to be a real estate agent to commit other crimes in Brasília.

The information was confirmed to g1 by the delegate of the 2nd Police Station, Fernando Cocito, who is investigating the case.

The suspect, who is at large, was caught on security cameras last Sunday (8), wearing women's clothing, a wig, mask and glasses, presenting himself as a supposed cousin of the resident of the stolen property.

In March this year, he was arrested for contacting real brokers posing as a person interested in buying or renting.

Afterwards, he would take the keys to the apartments and go to the condominiums where he would pretend to be a real estate agent. Inside the residences, he took a keychain to open the doors of other apartments in the area – which were not available for sale or rent – ​​and committed the thefts.

To avoid being identified, he did not walk through areas monitored by security cameras – he preferred, for example, to climb the stairs of buildings. During the robberies, he stole high-value jewelry, dollars and electronic equipment. He was arrested preventively at the time, but was released.

According to the Civil Police, this Wednesday (13), the Court authorized the preventive arrest of Bruno da Silva, but he had not been located until the last update of this report.

Investigators identified Bruno as a suspect of breaking into and stealing watches, jewelry, handbags and other high-value goods from an apartment in Asa Norte. To commit the crime, he would have posed as the cousin of the resident of the property.

To gain access to the building, a message was sent to the reception in the victim's name, requesting authorization for the visitor to enter. After accessing the building, the man remained hidden for more than 24 hours in the building's premises.

The next day, after the residents left, he entered the apartment and stole the objects. Security cameras recorded the suspect leaving the property with two suitcases and a bag, and using a piece of clothing belonging to the victim.
