In a recent incident in Montes Claros, Brazil, law enforcement conducted a routine bus inspection on the LMG-653 highway as part of their Carnaval operation. During this operation, officers from the Polícia Militar Rodoviária (PMRv) became suspicious of a 25-year-old passenger who displayed signs of nervousness. This prompted them to search his belongings.

During the search, police discovered a tablet of marijuana concealed within a lunchbox that the suspect was carrying in his backpack. The man was subsequently arrested at the scene and taken to the local police station for processing, where he faced charges related to drug possession.

The bus, which was en route from Santa Catarina to Bahia, was allowed to continue its journey after the incident. This event highlights ongoing law enforcement efforts to combat drug trafficking, particularly during high-traffic periods such as Carnaval when increased measures are often implemented to ensure public safety.
