The 30-year-old criminals Edson Carlos Lima da Silva, known as “Specialist” or “Ghost”, and Bruno da Cunha Araújo, 23, were arrested for illegal possession of a firearm on Saturday afternoon (15), at the Pica-Pau branch, in the Amapá region, in Rio Branco. In videos to which our newsroom had access, they appear expelling residents violently.
In one of the videos, Edson and Bruno, with the help of cronies, humiliate and question a woman, who is apparently indigenous, as well as assaulting an unidentified young man. In addition to the humiliations and death threats, the family is forced to leave the residence in just five minutes, taking only the body’s clothes. Meanwhile, the criminals claim that they will have all the furniture and appliances of the house.

In threats, the factories make it clear that if the family report it, they will chase them “even in hell.” They also mention an individual named “Gil”, possibly a member of a rival faction, ordering him to go to where they are.
Based on this information, the tactical team of the 2nd Battalion, which operates in the fight against organized crime in the second district of Rio Branco and aims to give a quick response to society, managed to arrest the pair in the act. They were found in a residence already taken from another family, carrying two pistols and a large amount of ammunition.
According to information from the 2nd Battalion Tactical Military Police, the garrison was routine patrolling in the region when he received an anonymous report from a resident, who declined to be identified for fear of reprisals. The complainant reported that Edson (“expert” or “ghost”), Bruno, a minor identified by the vulgar “RD” and another criminal named “Danielzinho” were invading homes to install the Red Command faction. Until that moment, at least four families had been expelled, and the criminals appropriate from the victims’ homes and assets.
Faced with the complaint, the tactical military moved rapidly to the indicated site and spotted Edson walking on public roads, with a suspicious volume under his waist. Realizing that he would be approached, he fled, jumped around a residence and crossed the property, throwing a 9mm caliber firearm with 15 intact ammunition in a forest area. Then he ran into the house.
The military surrounded the scene, entered the residence and found Bruno, who also carried a 9mm caliber firearm with 12 intact ammunition. During the approach, the police searched Edson and found 46 cocaine bundles, 37 crack stones and a sum of money, highlighting drug trafficking.
Given the facts, Edson and Bruno, who already had passages for illegal possession of firearms, participation in criminal organization and drug trafficking, were sent to the Flagrant Police Station (Defla).
