Man who escaped from Castelo Branco prison in 2018 arrested in Lagoa

Man has a criminal record for drug trafficking, theft, robbery, threat with a firearm, evasion, kidnapping, rape and forgery of documents

A 45-year-old man who escaped from Castelo Branco Prison in 2018 was this Thursday, February 16, arrested in Lagoa. 

During a traffic control action, the suspect fled after being ordered to stop by the GNR military and ended up being detained in Lagoa.

At that moment, the military found that the man did not have a legal license to drive and that he was using a car without a Mandatory Periodic Inspection. During the action, 2 euros were seized, which the suspect was unable to justify.

The detainee who, according to the GNR, has a criminal record of drug trafficking, theft, robbery, threat with a firearm, evasion, kidnapping, violation and falsification of documents, was detained at the premises of this Guard and will be present today at the Judicial Court from Silves.
