💬 Quoted… “Our nightmare is finally over and the good guys won."

Convicted murderer Danelo Cavalcante was recaptured by authorities yesterday following a two-week-long manhunt that saw Cavalcante evade a search perimeter maintained by hundreds of officers, steal (and then subsequently ditch) a van, break into a house and make off with a .22 rifle, and more.

• The fugitive was discovered using thermal imaging equipment, which was able to guide a tactical team to his specific location. Then, as Cavalcante was trying to crawl away from the area to escape capture, a police dog was released, successfully subduing him while inflicting “a minor bite wound” to his scalp. Doggos, ftw!
