The fugitives, all of whom were Brazilian, were trying to make their way into the Inter꧑lagos c💎ircuit for the weekend’s F1 grand prix when they were apprehended by police, according to the .

Robbery and paedophilia were among the crimes the people w🌄ere fleeing at the time of their arrest. 

Sao Paulo’s pu𒁃blic security department said the operation was part of its ‘The Great Wall of SP’ programme. 

“It was a big win as this was the first time the programme was tested at a major international event," Public Security Secretary Guilherme Derritꦿe said. 

F1 said a s♍ell-out crowd of 💎267,000 people attended the weekend, up from 236,000 last year. 

Organisers of the race were ruled to have create𒀰d an “unacceptable situation” by enabling a premature F1 t💎rack invasion after Sunday’s grand prix, when cars were still going around.
