Cocaine hidden in a bra

The Prime Minister (Military Police) reported that while detourning the highway of Deputy Walter Vicente Gómez (SC-410), they spotted a black Gol car known to be used to supply drug dealers in the municipality.

Supported by two vehicles, the garrison attempted to approach the vehicle, which then disobeyed the order and fled to Rua Francisco Oliveira in the Cracker area. At the scene, the police were able to approach the car.

During a personal examination of the 54-year-old driver by a police officer, 30 shells of cocaine and another 15 g of this substance were found in the suspect’s bra. Another 44-year-old woman was found to have no drugs.

While searching the vehicles, the garrison also found two Samsung mobile phones, personal items and the driver’s purse with a wallet containing 350 reais in cash, 2 dollars and 5 Argentine pesos.
