Father traveled with 2 children and his wife to try to deceive inspection; 48 kilos of cocaine were seized
A family traveling through the interior of São Paulo on April 28 was carrying 48 kilos of cocaine in the fuel tank of a pickup truck. The incident took place on the Raposo Tavares highway, in Presidente Prudente.
During Operation Impacto, a team from the Ostensive Road Tactical Team, together with federal police officers, approached the truck with license plates from Mato Grosso do Sul. The father, mother, 23-year-old son and a child were traveling in the vehicle.
When questioning the occupants of the truck, the police realized that they presented different versions about the destination of the trip and, therefore, inspected the vehicle. Inside the fuel tank, they found 45 bricks of cocaine. The father assumed responsibility for transportation. He and his son were arrested for the crime.
The mother and child were released. The incident was registered with the Federal Police of Presidente Prudente. The truck, drugs and 5 cell phones were seized.
