Two men arrested for robbery and assault in sexual encounters area in Matosinhos

Given the place and context in which these crimes were committed, some of the victims were "ashamed" to report them to the authorities



The Judicial Police (PJ) arrested two men for robberies with firearms and violence in Matosinhos, Porto.

According to a statement issued by the PJ, following an investigation into the fight against violent crime, it was possible to ascertain that, "at least since September this year", the suspects approached the victims, who were inside their cars, at night - in an area referenced for sexual encounters -, in S. Mamede Infesta, "broke the windows and assaulted them". The suspects also stole the victims' possessions and money.

Taking into account the place and context in which these crimes were committed, some of the victims "were ashamed" of filing a complaint with the authorities, and so it is still not possible to know, exactly, the number of crimes committed by the two men.

The PJ revealed that they are two individuals aged 30, unemployed and with several criminal records for similar crimes.
