L’arresto dopo la tentata fuga
Una volta atterrato sul materasso, Hideo non si è arreso. Il filmato mostra l’uomo, a torso nudo, rotolare sul pavimento e poi tentare nuovamente la fuga mentre diversi agenti intervengono per fermarlo. La polizia di Vancouver ha raccontato con ironia l’incredibile sequenza in un post pubblicato su X: “È atterrato sul materasso, si è alzato e ha provato a scappare. Non ha funzionato molto bene“.
Gli agenti sono riusciti rapidamente a bloccarlo e ad ammanettarlo, mettendo fine all’inseguimento. Secondo quanto riportato dal New York Post, Hideo è stato successivamente portato nel carcere della contea di Clark. Per lui sono state formulate accuse di danneggiamento doloso e furto con scasso. È emerso inoltre che a suo carico era già presente un mandato di arresto per un reato grave ancora pendente.
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 warrantGreat teamwork once again! ????????
