Federal Highway Police agents seized on the Presidente Dutra highway, in Seropédica, in the state of Rio, a load with 30 tablets of cocaine base paste. Two men were in a passenger vehicle and were arrested. The drug would be delivered to Complexo da Maré, made up of 17 communities, in the north of Rio.
A passenger vehicle was traveling at high speed along the shoulder in front of the PRF post, on Via Dutra, which caught the attention of the police. When inspecting the car, the police asked why the vehicle was traveling along the shoulder, but the driver and passenger did not respond and were nervous.
False bottom
The agents carried out an inspection in the car and, in the back, they found a false bottom and, from inside it, 30 tablets of cocaine base paste were removed, which means a loss of a few million reais for criminal organizations.
The driver and passenger stated that they would take the drug to the community of Complexo da Maré and that they would have picked up the order in the capital of São Paulo.
The case was forwarded to the Civil Police, where the two were charged and will be sent to a state prison, where they will be at the disposal of justice, awaiting judgment. The names of the detainees were not released.
