Box with drug bottle explodes inside the 151st DP of Nova Friburgo and video goes viral on social media
A box containing seized drug containers exploded accidentally inside a police station in Nova Friburgo, Brazil, but no injuries were reported.
A dramatic incident unfolded inside the 151st Police Station in Nova Friburgo, Brazil, when a box containing tubes of 'lança-perfume'—a type of drug—exploded. The explosion occurred accidentally after a police officer dropped the box, causing one of the drug containers to burst. This event was captured on video and subsequently went viral on social media platforms.
According to the Civil Police, the explosion did not result in any injuries, and the situation was promptly controlled. The incident took place during the reporting of a case by military police officers, indicating a busy day at the station. The Civil Police's prompt communication reassured the public that normal operations at the police station were unaffected by the unexpected event.
The explosion's occurrence brings to light both the challenges faced by law enforcement in handling seized drugs and the unexpected risks that can arise even in secure environments like police stations. As these types of drugs are often linked to broader issues of drug trafficking and safety, the viral video may prompt discussions about drug control policies and the proper handling of seized materials by authorities in Brazil.
