A bomb threat prompted a security mobilization at a Bradesco bank branch in downtown Joinville, Santa Catarina, on Tuesday. The incident began after a suspicious bag was left inside the agency on Monday afternoon.

The Military Police contacted the Special Police Operations Battalion (Bope) from Florianópolis to conduct a technical evaluation of the object. Security forces are working to identify the contents of the bag and implement necessary safety procedures. Further details are expected following the conclusion of the assessment.
