The Military Police (PM) bomb squad was called after a suitcase was abandoned at the PM unit located on Rua Tabarajas, in the Portão neighborhood, in Curitiba. The material was found late this Monday morning (30).
According to information from reporter Willian Bitar, from RICtv, as soon as the police noticed the object, the bomb squad was called. The agents worked with the possibility that it was an explosive device. But, after investigating and exploding the suitcase, the police only found fabrics and personal items.
Bomb squad work
After checking the surrounding area, one of the bomb squad agents, wearing special clothing that weighs more than 30kg, placed a type of scanner on the side of the suitcase and walked away. After the first investigations, the agent put a cable in the suitcase and dragged the object to the middle of the street, moving it away from the police base.
The agents forced the suitcase to explode at 1:59 pm and did not find any explosives inside, but only a blanket and clothes, which belonged to a homeless person who lives in the region. Despite the false alarm, the incident mobilized dozens of agents and changed traffic in the region.
