The Brazilian Federal Police (PF, in Portuguese) seized nearly 2.5 tons of cocaine hydrochloride, on December 1, 2020, in Duque de Caxias, Rio de Janeiro. According to the PF, this seizure was the largest ever conducted in the state and one of the largest in Brazil.
The PF received information about a criminal organization using a warehouse to store the drugs. Once the investigation identified suspicious vehicle traffic in the area, federal officers conducted the operation. The drugs were seized and sent to the PF in Rio de Janeiro, totaling 2.466 tons.
“At the scene, two men were arrested with two unregistered weapons, one pistol and a handgun, and a radio transceiver, all of which were seized,” said a PF statement.
