Two young men, aged 22 and 23, were arrested in the act of drug trafficking on Saturday afternoon in the Silvio Leite neighborhood of Boa Vista, Brazil. The Police Military (PM) seized skank, precision scales, six mobile phones, and nearly R$ 900 in cash after responding to a request for assistance from a concerned mother. She informed them that her underage son might be at a residence known for heavy foot traffic and suspected drug dealing.

Upon arrival at the indicated address, the officers found the condominium gate slightly open. A man spotted the police and disposed of an object before fleeing the scene, though he was not apprehended. During their investigation, the police discovered two apartments with open doors and found the younger suspect in one of them. This operation highlights the ongoing issues related to drug trafficking in residential areas and the community's role in reporting suspicious activities.

This incident reflects broader social concerns in Brazil regarding drug use and trafficking, particularly in urban neighborhoods. It illustrates the importance of community vigilance in combating crime, as the initial tip-off from the mother led to the arrests. Law enforcement continues to prioritize these operations to ensure the safety of residents and combat drug-related offenses in vulnerable neighborhoods.
