Military police officers from the Tactical Force of the 5th Regional Command dismantled, this Wednesday (8.7), a clandestine synthetic drug laboratory in the Cidade Universitária neighborhood, in Barra do Garças (520 km from Cuiabá). In the action, three men were arrested and a teenager was apprehended, all suspected of illicit drug trafficking.

The teams received reports from residents reporting intense movement of people and vehicles in a studio apartment, as well as a strong odor of drugs coming from the property.

The police went to the scene of the incident and heard one of the suspects mention that he had obtained a large quantity of perfume launchers to be prepared and distributed. The teams entered the property and approached the gang members in the act.

During the searches, the police located several illicit substances intended for the preparation of synthetic drugs, seizing dozens of bottles of perfume launchers, ecstasy tablets, portions of marijuana and drugs such as “ice” and “mela”.

In addition, “super perfume launcher” containers, precision scales, packaging used for fractionation and various materials used in the preparation of narcotics were seized.

The four involved were taken to the Civil Judiciary Police Station, along with all the seized material, for further appropriate measures.
