PC launches operation on possible threat to school safety in Ponta Grossa
Investigation by the Adolescent Police Station identified research related to the Suzano massacre, storage of images and videos about the incident and recent purchase of a machete. During the investigations, two firearms were seized and a man was arrested in flagrante.
The Civil Police, through the Adolescent Police Station of Ponta Grossa, launched Operation “Hidden Risk”, in the context of an investigation that finds elements that could indicate a possible situation of security risk in the school environment.
During the investigative work, the police team identified that a teenager was conducting frequent searches on the internet related to the massacre that occurred in Suzano (SP), keeping stored photographs and videos about the episode. The recent acquisition of an axe by the teenager was also noted.
The meeting and the analysis of these elements triggered an investigative alert and motivated the deepening of the diligences, given the need to clarify the context of the facts and verify any risk situation.
From the elements gathered, the Civil Police represented judicially by the issuance of four search and seizure warrants, all issued by the Judiciary and fulfilled in addresses linked to the adolescent, in the municipality of Ponta Grossa.
During the proceedings, two firearms were seized in one of the residences linked to the teenager, on which occasion a man was arrested in flagrante for the crime of illegal possession of a firearm.
A cellular device belonging to the teenager, the axe and a revolver drill were also seized, materials that will be analyzed during the investigation.
The investigation is still ongoing. The Civil Police clarifies that, in relation to this investigation, there is no indication of risk to the school community, and the adolescent remains accompanied by the competent bodies.
The delegate Fernando Henrique Ribeiro Vieira, responsible for the Adolescent Police Station of Ponta Grossa, highlights the importance of preventive action and intelligence work developed by the unit: “Our work does not begin when violence happens. The Adolescent Police Department works permanently in the identification, analysis and mapping of situations that may pose risks to the safety of children and adolescents. In this case, the attention to the identified signs and the deepening of the investigation allowed the timely adoption of the appropriate judicial measures. Our commitment is to act responsibly, technically and ahead of time, because prevention means identifying the signs before a risky situation can turn into violence.”
The PCPR reinforces that prevention also depends on the attention of the entire community. Information on behaviors or situations that may indicate safety risks in the school environment should be communicated to the competent authorities, so that they are duly analyzed and, if necessary, result in the adoption of the appropriate legal measures.
