On Wednesday, the police in Três Rios, a city in the state of Rio de Janeiro, confiscated around 14 kg of marijuana, known as skunk, along with various weapons and ammunition. The operation arose after law enforcement received tips about a residence suspected to be used as a drug trafficking storage location. As officers approached the house, two individuals were seen exiting and fled upon their sighting of the police car.

Inside the house, police found 14 bricks of marijuana weighing approximately 1 kg each, along with a .38 caliber revolver with its serial number erased, a magazine for a pistol, ammunition of different calibers, a precision balance, packaging materials, and a cellphone. The entire cache was seized and transported to the local police station in Três Rios, where a case report was filed concerning the incident. As of the time of reporting, no arrests have been made in connection with this drug bust.

This incident highlights ongoing issues with drug trafficking in Brazil, particularly in Rio de Janeiro, which has been plagued by violence and crime associated with drug gangs. The actions by the police underscore their ongoing efforts to combat drug-related crimes in urban areas and the need for continued vigilance and community cooperation in addressing these challenges.
