Four men were held hostage during a cargo theft on Friday night (25) in Guarulhos, São Paulo Metropolitan Region. The victims, aged 30 to 57, worked as drivers and escort security guards on a truck that carried imported products, especially cell phones.
The men were approached on the Ayrton Senna highway, height of Km 16 in Guarulhos, by a gang of approximately ten armed suspects. According to reports, criminals used three cars in the action and forced the vehicle’s stop using firearms.
