Three men bolted from the vehicle and ran into the brush
Na noite de uma terça-feira no litoral capixaba, uma fuga em alta velocidade pela BR-101 revelou mais do que uma simples desobediência ao sinal de parada: dentro do veículo interceptado pela Polícia Rodoviária Federal, havia os rastros materiais de uma invasão domiciliar — pertences de um vereador de Presidente Kennedy, arrancados de sua casa horas antes. O encontro entre a lei e a transgressão aconteceu a dois quilômetros do posto de fiscalização, na beira de uma mata, onde três homens tentaram se dissolver na escuridão. A recuperação dos bens e a apreensão de armas lembram que a violência doméstica raramente permanece confinada ao lugar onde começa.
- Um carro em fuga ignorou a ordem de parada na BR-101 e acelerou em alta velocidade, forçando agentes federais a iniciar uma perseguição noturna de risco.
- Três ocupantes abandonaram o veículo às margens da rodovia e tentaram desaparecer na vegetação, enquanto o motorista permanecia ao volante alegando ignorância sobre o que transportava.
- O interior do carro continha um revólver calibre .38, munição, uma máscara ninja e itens reconhecidos como produto de roubo à residência de um vereador em Presidente Kennedy.
- A vítima confirmou o furto de celulares, alianças de ouro, relógio, PlayStation 5 e dinheiro — a maior parte dos bens foi recuperada ainda na noite do crime.
- Os três detidos foram encaminhados à 5ª Delegacia Regional de Guarapari, e a investigação segue aberta para apurar autoria formal e possível envolvimento em outros crimes na região.
Pouco depois das 20h40 de uma terça-feira, um carro ignorou a ordem de parada no posto da Polícia Rodoviária Federal em Guarapari e disparou pela BR-101 em alta velocidade. Os agentes iniciaram a perseguição. Dois quilômetros adiante, o veículo parou no acostamento, próximo a uma área de mata fechada. Três dos ocupantes fugiram a pé para o matagal; o motorista ficou para trás.
A busca na vegetação resultou na captura de ao menos dois fugitivos — um deles portando um revólver calibre .38. O veículo, por sua vez, guardava um inventário revelador: dois celulares, um PlayStation 5, uma máscara ninja, um relógio, 15 munições calibre .38, uma bala calibre .32, uma caixa de moedas e um cigarro de maconha. O motorista carregava mais de mil reais e insistia que não sabia quem eram seus passageiros.
As peças se encaixaram quando a polícia federal recebeu a informação de que aqueles objetos haviam sido roubados horas antes de uma residência em Presidente Kennedy. A vítima era um vereador do município, que relatou o furto de três celulares, duas alianças de ouro, um relógio, um PlayStation 5 e 160 reais em espécie. A maior parte dos bens estava agora sob custódia policial.
Os três homens foram levados à 5ª Delegacia Regional de Guarapari. A investigação prossegue para confirmar a autoria do crime e verificar se o grupo está ligado a outros delitos na região do litoral sul capixaba.
Just after 8:40 p.m. on a Tuesday evening, a car blew through the federal highway checkpoint in Guarapari at dangerous speed. The officers working the post on BR-101 ordered the driver to stop. He didn't. Instead, he accelerated, weaving across lanes in a pattern designed to shake pursuit. The Polícia Rodoviária Federal gave chase.
Two kilometers down the highway, the car finally slowed and pulled onto the shoulder near a thick stand of vegetation. Three men bolted from the vehicle and ran into the brush at the roadside. The driver stayed behind. When federal officers caught up and searched the car, they found a .38 caliber revolver on one of the men who had fled into the trees. The officers recovered him along with at least one other fugitive.
What they discovered inside the vehicle told a story of a home invasion hours earlier. Two cell phones lay on the seats. A PlayStation 5 sat in the back. There was a ninja mask, a watch, 15 rounds of .38 ammunition, a single .32 cartridge, a box of coins, and a marijuana cigarette. The driver, who claimed to be an app-based taxi operator and said he didn't know his passengers, was carrying 1,060 reais. One of the detained men had 184 reais on him.
The pieces fit together quickly. Federal police received word that these items—the phones, the gaming console, the watch—had been stolen from a house in Presidente Kennedy, a municipality on Espírito Santo's southern coast. The victim was a city councilman. According to his account, the thieves had taken three cell phones, a car key, two gold wedding bands, a watch, a PlayStation, and 160 reais in cash. Most of it was now in police custody.
All three men—the two who fled into the vegetation and the driver who remained at the wheel—were transported to the 5th Regional Police Station in Guarapari. The federal highway police had recovered the stolen goods and seized weapons and ammunition that had no business being in civilian hands. What remained unclear was whether formal charges would follow, and whether this single home invasion was part of a larger pattern of crime in the region. The investigation continued from there.

Why did the driver stay in the car when the other two ran?
That's the question, isn't it. Maybe he panicked differently. Maybe he thought staying put looked less guilty than bolting. Or maybe he was the one who knew the car best and thought he could talk his way out.
The driver claimed to be a taxi app operator who didn't know his passengers. Do you believe that?
The federal police didn't seem to. Why would a taxi driver let two strangers into his car right after a home invasion, carrying a loaded revolver and stolen goods? The timing is too tight. Either he knew exactly what was happening, or he was monumentally unlucky.
What strikes you most about what they found in the car?
The ninja mask. It's such a specific detail. Someone put thought into this robbery. They came prepared, masked, armed. This wasn't opportunistic. It was planned.
A councilman's house. Does that suggest something about the target?
Possibly. A city official might have more to steal—cash, electronics, jewelry. Or maybe they knew he'd be away. Or maybe it was random and he just happened to be a councilman. The source doesn't say.
What happens next for these men?
They're at the police station now. Whether they get charged depends on what the investigation turns up—fingerprints, surveillance footage, whether the councilman can identify them. And whether this connects to other crimes in the area.
