In Buritizeiro, Brazil, a 16-year-old teenager was apprehended by the police while dividing crack cocaine under a mango tree. The local police patrol received information about a man involved in drug trafficking and homicide, who was reportedly preparing narcotics for distribution at his residence in the Bandeirante neighborhood. As the police approached, one officer observed the teenager engaged in drug division under the tree while other officers secured the house.

Upon attempting to apprehend them, the police found 101 crack stones, a portion of cocaine, and two cutting blades used for drug manipulation near the tree. Although the officers attempted to enter the residence, the teenager managed to escape by jumping over nearby walls. Despite extensive searches conducted in the area, authorities were unable to locate the teenager afterward.

This incident underscores ongoing issues with drug trafficking and youth involvement in illegal activities within Brazilian communities. It highlights the challenges faced by law enforcement in curbing drug-related offenses, particularly involving minors, and prompts discussions on methods to address drug abuse and trafficking in vulnerable populations.
