In a significant law enforcement action, the Civil Police of Brazil arrested four men on Monday, related to drug trafficking in Barra do Garças, approximately 516 km from Cuiabá. This operation, named Core Drop, involved executing eight judicial warrants, including four for arrest and four for search and seizure in the Vila Maria neighborhood and surrounding areas. The police reported that the suspects, aged between 20 and 43, are believed to be members of a criminal organization operating in the region.

The investigation revealed that these individuals had defined roles within the drug trafficking organization, coordinating the sale and distribution of narcotics throughout the city. Furthermore, their operations reportedly extended beyond drug sales as they also provided logistical support to the larger criminal faction. The organized nature of their activities points towards a structured network of drug distribution in Barra do Garças, contributing to ongoing challenges in local law enforcement and community safety.

Additionally, during the course of this operation, one of the arrested individuals was also wanted for murder related to a case in Nova, highlighting the multifaceted criminal ties and the complexities faced by law enforcement agencies in tackling organized crime. This operation underscores the ongoing struggle against drug-related crimes and the persistent influence of criminal organizations in Brazilian cities, with implications for public safety and police resource allocation in combating such urgent issues.
