The Military Police in Manaus seized 1.1 tons of drugs while apprehending three individuals in the Colônia Antônio Aleixo neighborhood. The operation, conducted by the 28th Community Interactive Company (CICOM), took place on the night of Saturday, October 14, around 11:45 PM, after authorities received an anonymous tip-off regarding a potential drug shipment in the area.

During the police action, the law enforcement officers were able to locate the drugs based on the information provided through the anonymous report. The swift response highlights the ongoing struggle against drug trafficking in Manaus, which has been a growing concern in many regions of Brazil amid increasing violence linked to drug gangs.

The arrest of the two Colombians alongside a Brazilian national also underscores the international dimensions of drug trafficking networks operating in Brazil. This incident may lead to further investigations and possible heightened security measures in Manaus and surrounding areas as authorities work to combat the inflow of narcotics and related criminal activities.
