Mr Broad,
Get in touch with the Policia Rodovia about the armed assaults on the Natal-Forteleza route(night bus route) and read today's Tribuna(front page about the 159 armed bus assault in Natal's figures for 2008)which has had plenty of news coverage..Also check out the armed assault in Caixa Economica yesterday which ended outside my front door yesterday .Give Bope a call they'll fill you in on it.There were about 20 armed Bope police chasing the armed robbers and thankfully managed to catch them -whilst a day earlier a woman leaving Banco Real was about to get in her car when an armed man put a gun to her head and took her money.Finally there is talk of adding 500 police to the force,200 covering admin and 300 (supposedly policing).
Natal needs more policing on the roads and streets day and night as it is getting pretty bad. It was once a very,very safe place to live.

Also, you mentioned the recent reports of armed assaults on the Natal to Fortaleza bus but you failed to mention the response from the police in Natal, ie the road blocks et al.
