Pair allegedly hid beauty products in a backpack and passed through checkout without paying; Municipal Civil Guard was called
A 17-year-old girl and a 24-year-old woman were taken to the police station after an incident of theft in a supermarket located in the Sabará region, in Ponta Grossa. The situation was recorded at the Vitor Supermarket and mobilized a team of the Municipal Civil Guard (GCM).
According to information obtained on the spot, staff of the establishment were alerted by the monitoring team after identifying a suspicious movement involving the two young women inside the supermarket.
Products were hidden in a backpack
According to an employee’s account, the pair used a two-story shopping cart and put a backpack on the bottom. Then the two went to the perfumery sector, where they began to select goods.
While some products were placed at the top of the cart, others were hidden inside the backpack, allegedly with the intention of leaving the establishment without making payment.
According to the information gathered, when they realized that they were being observed, the two would have removed the backpack from the cart and followed towards the exit of the supermarket.
Double was approached after passing through the boxes
The suspicions passed through the region of the boxes without making the payment of the products that were in the backpack. Before the situation, officials carried out the approach and triggered the Municipal Civil Guard.

The case has been submitted to the police authority, which should analyze the circumstances of the occurrence. To date, neither the total value nor the quantity of goods involved have been disclosed.
