Operation to combat “Baderna” and drug use

The purpose of the action was to check bars, tobacco shops and the waterfront in order to prevent cases of disorderly conduct and drug use in public places. In addition, the agents sought to verify the operating permits of three establishments, one of which was closed and the other notified.

Two loudspeakers were seized on the Meia Praia promenade. Among the 150 people involved in the operation, some already had previous convictions for theft, attempted murder, drug possession and drug trafficking.

This approach involved the military police, the Coastal Zone Environment Foundation, the municipal guard and the Itapema policing inspector to supervise street vendors, street vendors and free fairs, food or drink.
