VÍDEO: Homem tenta fugir da polícia pelo teto de loja e despenca

Gabriel Llamalt Hideo foi preso após tentar escapar da polícia pelo forro de uma loja Macy’s em um shopping de Vancouver, no estado de Washington, nos Estados Unidos. Imagens de câmeras corporais mostram o homem caindo sobre um colchão colocado pelos agentes no chão do segundo andar.

Funcionários alertaram a polícia sobre alguém no teto da loja, onde placas haviam sido quebradas. Os agentes e bombeiros esvaziaram o segundo piso e instalaram uma escada no buraco aberto no forro, enquanto Hideo se deslocava pela estrutura por mais de uma hora.

O Departamento de Polícia de Vancouver afirmou que os policiais ordenaram várias vezes que ele descesse, mas o homem continuou a quebrar placas e a danificar luzes, fiação e outras instalações. Ele chegou a subir pela escada, tentou retornar ao teto e caiu quando os agentes retiraram o equipamento. Hideo ainda tentou fugir, mas os policiais o imobilizaram. Ele responde por dano malicioso de primeiro grau, arrombamento de primeiro grau e um mandado de prisão por crime grave.

You know it’s going to be an interesting shift when a suspect is crawling in the ceiling at a department store… 👀🙃

Last Wednesday, VPD officers responded to the Vancouver Mall after employees reported a man crawling around in the ceiling and breaking through ceiling tiles.

Officers gave him multiple commands to come down, but he kept moving through the ceiling, breaking more tiles and damaging lights, wiring and other fixtures.

The second floor was evacuated while officers and firefighters tried to get him down. A ladder was placed in the ceiling, and a mattress was put underneath him in case he fell.

After more than an hour of trying to talk him into coming down, he finally stepped onto the ladder. He then tried to climb back into the ceiling, so officers pulled the ladder away to keep him from going back up.

He landed on the mattress, got up and tried to run. That didn’t work out so well. 🚔

The suspect, Gabriel Hideo, was taken into custody and later booked for:

🔹 Malicious Mischief in the First Degree
🔹 Burglary in the First Degree
🔹 Felony warrant

Great teamwork once again! 👏💪
