Three Minors Take New Omoda 5 in Florianópolis After Key Left Inside

Overview

• The three youths entered a zero‑kilometre Omoda 5 that had its spare key left inside and drove through the continental area of Florianópolis at high speed, striking a parked motorcycle on Sunday night.
• Motoboys and bystanders pursued the vehicle, forced it to stop, and the Polícia Militar recovered the car before taking the 10‑, 11‑ and 12‑year‑olds to the Central de Plantão Policial.
• Authorities said the 12‑year‑old was the one driving, no injuries were reported, and the crash caused only material damage to the parked motorcycle.
• The Polícia Militar registered the case as an ato infracional análogo ao furto and the Polícia Civil opened an inquiry to determine the exact dynamics of the theft and the route the youths took.
• Reporters noted the car was left by a carrier for delivery and can be worth more than R$180,000 per Tabela Fipe, a detail that has focused attention on dealer and carrier security practices and possible changes in how new vehicles are guarded during transport.
