A 14-year-old boy was apprehended for drug trafficking after crashing his motorcycle on BR-381, where police discovered drugs hidden in his clothing.
In Coronel Fabriciano, Brazil, a 14-year-old boy was involved in a motorcycle accident late on Sunday night. According to the Military Highway Police, he lost control of his motorcycle and crashed into the central median of the highway. While responding to the incident, officers discovered that he was carrying illegal drugs, with 33 packets of marijuana and 15 packets of cocaine hidden in his clothing.
The teenager was transported by a SAMU team to a hospital due to suspected mild cranial trauma and was later found to have a fractured right arm, which required surgery. He remained hospitalized under police surveillance.
