Late Tuesday, a sizable contingent of heavily armed police was observed securing an area in South Coventry Township. However, the precise location of Cavalcante’s capture remained undisclosed.
According to a law enforcement source cited by Fox News, state police and U.S. Border Patrol successfully apprehended Cavalcante near a residence where he had stolen a .22-caliber rifle equipped with a scope and ammunition from an open garage on Monday night. The homeowner had confronted Cavalcante, firing his pistol in an attempt to stop the escape.
Residents in Pennsylvania were urged by the Pennsylvania State Police to secure their homes, as Cavalcante was considered armed and highly dangerous.
