Singer Anitta stopped at least three times the “Trio Eléctrico” parade she performed in Friday night on the Barra Ondina carnival circuit in Salvador, capital of the Brazilian state of Bahia, to help police arrest thieves who were robbing revelers in the middle of the crowd.
The artist, who was the main attraction at the official opening of the carnival parades in the Bahian capital, stopped singing several times and had a privileged view of the sea of people from the roof of the truck in which she was performing. Speaking, he instructed the military police to get to the criminals and arrest them.
“Hello, police! Here on the left side of the Troika, thank you very much. There is someone who is bad, and the people will indicate who is bad. This is when they catch, go, catch, catch.” , catch the bastard, catch the bastard, Policeman! – Anitta shouted once on the roof of the truck, while the gang also stopped until the suspect was detained by agents.
On at least two other occasions during the parade, the singer once again paused his performance momentarily to help law enforcement officers get to the robbers, who took advantage of the revelers’ distraction to steal wallets, gold jewelry, and mainly cell phones, which many people were filming exciting show. On one occasion, the suspect, when discovered, left the location indicated by the artist, took off his cap to try to disguise himself, but she followed him with her gaze and told the agents how to get to him.
“It’s the one in the back, in the black cap, who beats everyone. Look, he took off his cap and tried to get back there. I’ll follow you, okay, you scoundrel!” – Anitta shouted, directly addressing the suspect, continuing to lead the agents until they reached the boy, to the applause of the crowd.
