Overview
- The incident occurred at a Caixa Econômica branch in Carangola, Minas Gerais, where a 20-year-old tried to damage ATMs to steal cash around 1:35 a.m.
- While attempting to flee, the armored revolving door locked and trapped him for about 20 minutes, and CCTV recorded him losing his outer clothing and standing in underwear.
- The bank’s surveillance company alerted authorities, and Military Police arrived roughly two and a half hours after entry, finding the suspect hiding under a staircase with minor injuries and signs of intoxication.
- Officials say no money was taken; the suspect admitted his intent, underwent a medical evaluation, and was then taken to police custody.
- The branch reopened for normal service the next day as the viral footage prompted fresh discussion about armored revolving-door security at banks.
