In Juiz de Fora, Minas Gerais, Federal Highway Police (PRF) arrested a man on the BR-267 highway for receiving stolen goods. 

During an inspection, officers discovered a vehicle with altered identification marks. The driver claimed he had acquired the car through a trade and a payment of R$ 8,000. The recovery of the vehicle addressed a case of license plate cloning, which had caused the original owner to incur improper traffic fines and financial losses.
