A SpaceX Dragon spacecraft, launched atop a Falcon 9 rocket, lifted off from Cape Canaveral with its crew on board.

A spacecraft carrying four astronauts successfully docked at the International Space Station on Friday, following a launch from Earth earlier in the day.

The newly arrived crew is set to embark on an eight-month stint aboard the ISS, taking over from a previous team that departed last month due to health concerns.

Rio Police Go Undercover in Carnival Sting to Combat Phone Thefts

Authorities took two individuals into custody following an incident in which a drone captured footage of a woman taking a phone from someone in attendance.

In an effort to combat phone theft, Brazilian law enforcement has been utilizing creative disguises to blend in with Carnival crowds in Rio de Janeiro, allowing them to target suspects without being detected.

Officers disguised with Jason Voorhees and Money Heist masks apprehended two suspects.

According to Brazil's Civil Police, undercover officers wore a variety of masks, including those of Captain America, Batman, and Jason Voorhees, in order to catch a pair of suspects in the act.

A drone spotted a woman stealing a phone from a Carnival attendee, then passing it to her alleged accomplice, leading to the arrest of the two individuals, as reported by the Civil Police.

Rio's Carnival, which takes place over several days, starting on a Friday and ending the following Saturday, draws millions of people to its street parties and parades, but it also tends to see a rise in minor crimes.

The operation in the Santa Teresa neighborhood resulted in the recovery of five stolen phones, which will be returned to their rightful owners, according to the Civil Police.

Footage released by the authorities shows officers, still wearing their disguises, including a Money Heist costume, leading the two suspects away and into a police vehicle.

The two individuals detained in the footage have a combined total of 30 prior criminal records, and the woman allegedly pretended to be pregnant in an attempt to avoid arrest, as stated by the police.

The arrests are part of Operation Tracking, a state-wide initiative aimed at addressing the theft and resale of mobile devices, which has led to the recovery of over 13,000 devices and the return of approximately 4,400 phones.

The use of disguises by Latin American law enforcement is not a new tactic, as officers have previously employed creative costumes to apprehend suspected criminals.

In Peru, police have been known to use elaborate disguises on various occasions, including Valentine's Day, Halloween, and Christmas, as a means of catching suspects off guard.

In a previous operation, officers dressed as Spider-Man discovered suspected cocaine in a trick-or-treat bucket during a raid in November of the previous year.

On Valentine's Day, an officer dressed as a teddy bear apprehended a suspected drug dealer, demonstrating the creative approaches used by law enforcement.

Police have also conducted raids while dressed in a range of costumes, including the Grinch, a capybara, and various Marvel superheroes, showcasing their ability to adapt and use creative tactics to achieve their goals.
