Five men were detained on Sunday after having broken into one of the sites where works are being carried out on the Lisbon Underground. The information was sent to Notícias ao Minuto this Tuesday by the Public Security Police (PSP), which explains that the five men, aged between 23 and 33, were stopped in the parish of Estrela.

"The police were called to the scene because there was news that several individuals were inside the works of the Lisbon Underground tunnel", reads the note.

The PSP also says that "through the collaboration of one of the witnesses, and based on the information provided, it was possible to intercept the five suspects, who, upon realizing the presence of the police, had taken refuge in the infrastructures of the said location".

The PSP also explains that after being intercepted, the suspects were subjected to a police search, and "several backpacks with various items that would be used to make graffiti at that location were found in their possession".

In their possession, the five suspects had five protective helmets, five vests, a five-litre bottle of pink paint, 28 spray cans, a blue crowbar, a rope with a carabiner, two paint rollers, three paint trays, 41 spray nozzles, six pairs of gloves, two cameras, with their respective memory cards, two camera bags and two camera lenses.

The defendants were notified to appear before the Public Prosecutor's Office - Local Court, Minor Crime Section, in order to be heard in Summary Proceedings.
