On Friday, in the Urumari neighborhood of Santarém, western Pará, Brazil, two men were apprehended by the police for drug trafficking. The operation took place around 8:20 PM, near the end of a cul-de-sac known for drug sales. When police intensified their patrols in the area, the suspects attempted to flee upon seeing a police vehicle but were quickly caught by the authorities.

Upon searching one of the apprehended individuals, who was carrying a green shoulder bag, police discovered seven small bags of a substance resembling crack cocaine, a larger quantity of the same drug, a cell phone, and several pieces of jewelry including a pair of earrings and a bracelet. Additionally, the suspect was found with a precision scale that fell during the flight attempt. Meanwhile, the second suspect had 29 packets of the same narcotic in his possession.

This operation underscores the ongoing challenges law enforcement faces in combatting drug trafficking in communities like Urumari, which are known hotspots for such criminal activities. The increasing efforts by the police in conducting thorough patrols reflect a focused initiative to address drug issues in the region, aiming to enhance community safety and reduce the prevalence of narcotics in local neighborhoods.
