The Civil Police of the Paraná (PCPR) clarified a robbery at a fuel station in Carambeí, in the Campos Gerais, which occurred in November 2024. The investigation, conducted by the 43rd Regional Police Station of Castro, was completed after the sharing of information between police units, which allowed to identify one of the suspects involved in the crime.
The robbery took place on the night of November 28, 2024, at about 9 p.m., in an establishment located on the banks of PR-151. At the time, a man armed with a revolver approached the cashier, announced the theft and took approximately R$ 1,300 in cash and a mobile device.

According to the Civil Police, after the robbery, the suspect was pursued by a security guard and a frontman of the establishment. During the attempted escape, he and an attendant fired a gun.
The pair managed to escape using a stolen motorcycle, making it difficult to immediately identify those involved.
The case began to be investigated by the Civil Police, but the investigation ended up being archived before new information emerged that allowed the progress of the investigations.
Information exchange between police stations helped clarify the crime
The investigation took a turn after the sharing of information between the Castro Police Station and the Imbituva Police Station.
With the new elements, the investigation was dismantled and the investigators were able to identify the suspect in the robbery.
According to PCPR, the identified man is already serving a sentence for another crime of the same nature, that is, also related to theft.
During the interrogation, however, the investigator denied being the author of the robbery that occurred in Carambeí.
Suspect could face up to 20 years in prison
With the completion of the police investigation, the case may move to the next stages of Criminal Justice.
As informed by the Civil Police, if convicted of the crimes investigated, the suspect could face a sentence of 8 to 20 years of imprisonment.
The identification occurred almost two years after the robbery, reinforcing the importance of information sharing between police stations for elucidating old crimes in the Campos Gerais region.
Despite the conclusion of the police investigation, the investigated person maintains the right to the presumption of innocence until eventual definitive conviction.
