Plantings were grown in a greenhouse in his apartment, located in the Joao Costa area. Operation footage shows the suspect was asleep when the police arrived, and the agents took him by surprise.

The case began to be investigated after the OVD (Criminal Investigation Department) of Joinville received information that drug trafficking was taking place in the area. During the information verification campaign, several marijuana plants were found inside the greenhouse.

In addition to running a marijuana plantation, the man already had three outstanding arrest warrants, two in the state of Paraná and one in Sao Paulo, for a wide variety of crimes, including robbery.
