The case had a negative impact across the city and was reported on the TV news show, Jornal Hoje (Globo). Later, in São José dos Campos, São Paulo state, the local police tracked down members of a criminal gang thanks to Facebook. In the USA, a thief published photos of his robbery on Facebook, showing the amount of money he had stolen, and was arrested by the FBI in September 2011.
