On Monday afternoon, Federal Highway Police (PRF) seized 10 bars of drugs on BR-365 in Uberlândia, Brazil. Two individuals, aged 31 and 67, identified as Bolivians, were arrested at the scene after exhibiting suspicious behavior outside their vehicle at a gas station. When approached by officers, the suspects attempted to flee but were apprehended after informing the authorities that drugs were located in their car.

The seized packages contained skunk, a potent form of marijuana, and 'ice dry', which is also known as 'dry Moroccan,' 'dry sift,' or simply 'dry'. Both skunk and dry are derivatives of cannabis; however, the dry variant represents a concentrated form of hashish with a higher potency than regular marijuana. The situation reflects ongoing concerns regarding the trafficking and availability of stronger synthetic drugs on Brazilian streets.

According to police, the suspects had allegedly retrieved the drugs in Corumbá, a border town with Bolivia, and had stopped at the gas station to seek directions for their delivery destination. This incident underscores the complex issues of drug transportation that involve cross-border activities and raises questions about law enforcement's capacity to address rising drug-related crimes in Brazil, especially given the influx of potent substances from neighboring countries.
