Anyone who passes through Avenida Pastor Martin Luther King Júnior, one of the main streets in Rio's North Zone, knows that, at any time, they could fall victim to the net.
The location is well known: close to the Irajá and Vicente de Carvalho subways and between Del Castilho and Inhaúma.
On Thursday evening (7), the incident occurred on the road to Del Castilho, near Inhaúma. Terrified drivers tried to get back on the wrong side of the road, and others abandoned their cars in fear.
In recent days, several images have been captured of shrimp trawlers, and criminals even attacking their victims.
Martin Luther King Júnior connected Pavuna to Del Castilho. Despite the presence of the Irajá and Méier battalions, which are in charge of the police, as well as the nearby Inhaúma and Braz de Pina police stations, robberies occur every day.
