‘Acre’ is killed during confrontation with police after using drones to throw drugs and cell phones into prison

Gabriel Silva Rodrigues Bastos, aged 24, known as ‘Acre’, died this week after a confrontation with the Police. Investigations indicate that he had the job of piloting drones to throw cell phones and drugs into the Campo Grande Maximum Security Prison. The case was revealed by the MidiaMax website.

The police were carrying out patrols in the Jardim Noroeste area, close to the prison, when a witness stopped the vehicle to report that drones were frequently flying over the region. The witness indicated a house where the equipment was leaving. In addition, criminal police also reported drones flying over the penitentiary region.

When police arrived at the house, they immediately saw two people there. Gabriel pulled a gun from his waistband, while the other individual fled to the back of the residence. A Pitbull dog attacked one of the police officers, who fired a shot, killing the animal.

Inside the residence, Gabriel’s accomplice was detained while trying to escape through the back. ‘Acre’ allegedly pointed a gun at the police, who reacted, hitting him in the chest. He was rescued, but he succumbed to his injuries and died.

During the search of the house, the police found eight cell phones already packed to be thrown and four more that were still being prepared, in addition to eight portions of marijuana. ‘Acre’s’ partner stated that he met him at a woman’s house and was invited to throw drugs at the penitentiary.
