The Policlínica Dr. Francisco Pinto in Campina Grande suspended all medical services following a fourth burglary within a single week. During these incidents, criminals stole equipment and materials and caused structural damage, resulting in estimated losses of approximately R$ 100,000.

Authorities suspect the perpetrators accessed the clinic through the adjacent, unoccupied Afonso Campos former courthouse building, which is ceded to the Government of Paraíba. The condition of this building has reportedly facilitated access for criminals to the clinic and nearby businesses.

Following a week-long suspension to allow for security upgrades, facility reorganization, and the replacement of stolen items, the polyclinic has resumed medical services. The city administration is currently working with public security agencies to identify those responsible and prevent future incidents.
