The investigation began after the theft of a motorcycle last weekend. Civil police officers, through investigations, located the vehicle at a facade garbage recycling point in the Planalto neighborhood in Parobé. At the scene, in addition to the stolen motorcycle, the suspect was arrested for the crime.
Investigations revealed that recycling acted as a front for other illicit activities. At the scene, agents found several rocks of crack and discovered that the space was used for drug trafficking and consumption.
