A thief is stealing mainly window shutters from houses. Residents are complaining about the lack of security in Lisbon.

A 39-year-old man was arrested in the Penha de França area. The case was reported to the court.

The court postponed from today until 25 May the decision regarding a network that allegedly used false addresses in Penha de França, Lisbon, to facilitate the legalisation of immigrants, a judicial source told Lusa today.
The alleged leader of the network confessed to having provided his address for compatriots from Bangladesh to legalise their status, but claimed he did not know it was a crime.

Only the parents and wife of Fernando Silva, the triple killer from Penha de França, prevented him from carrying out further crimes.

Fernando Silva went to the 'Granda Pente' barbershop in Penha de França, Lisbon, for a haircut and, when he was not served immediately, shot the barber, a customer and the customer's partner. He also fired at a shop employee but did not hit him.
A court has sentenced the individual convicted of killing three people in a barbershop in the Penha de França neighbourhood to 25 years' imprisonment.

The crime occurred in Penha de França, Lisbon, on 2 October 2024. The convicted man shot the barber after he was not served straight away.
