In a significant law enforcement operation during the carnival season in Bauru, São Paulo, the Civil and Military Police successfully seized more than 5,000 packages of illicit drugs. The operation at a property known to officials as the 'bomb house' revealed a staggering cache of drugs including approximately 2,700 cocaine pinos (small packages typical in drug trade), 1,500 portions of marijuana, 1,100 portions of hashish, and 20 portions of crack cocaine, along with key trafficking documentation.

This operation underscores a broader investigation aimed at dismantling drug trafficking activities and the influence of criminal factions in the neighborhood. With the targeted house serving as a storage and preparation site for illegal drugs, the police have made significant strides in disrupting the local drug trade. During the operation, one woman was arrested on suspicion of her involvement in drug trafficking-related activities.

The urgency of these operations is heightened during the carnival period when such criminal activities are often believed to peak due to increased public gatherings. The proactive measures taken by law enforcement reflect a commitment to ensuring public safety and combating organized crime in an area that has faced challenges related to drug violence and trafficking.
