Police officers from the 36th Frontier Military Police Battalion were patrolling a BR-161 when, according to the police, they noticed a vehicle that had difficulty maneuvering while driving up the ridge, as the rear end was lowered. This fact caught the attention of agents.

When the police tried to approach the car, the driver picked up speed and began to run down the road deep into the municipality. However, he lost control and the car went off the road. According to police, the man abandoned the car and fled into the woods.

The drug in the car was packed in large bales and divided into tablets with a total weight of 223 kilograms. In addition, the car had falsified license plates, which is part of the crime under Article 311 of the Criminal Code. Everything was seized and handed over to the civilian police department for investigation. Dealer no longer found.
