On Thursday morning, a 21-year-old woman was arrested by the Military Road Police on BR-259 in Governador Valadares, Brazil. This occurred during a police operation called "Pré-Carnaval 2026," aimed at ensuring safety and preventing drug trafficking ahead of the carnival season. The young woman was on an interstate bus when officers noticed her excessive nervousness, which raised their suspicion.

Upon questioning, she claimed to be traveling to the city of Vitória, but her evasive responses led the police to further investigate her belongings. During the search, the officers detected a strong odor of marijuana, prompting a more thorough inspection. The discovery of drugs inside a box in her possession confirmed their suspicions, leading to her arrest.

This incident highlights the ongoing efforts of Brazilian law enforcement to combat drug trafficking, especially during notable events like Carnival when drug-related activities tend to increase. The police operation is part of a broader initiative to enhance security on the roads and ensure public safety.
