As they approached, the agents noticed that the occupants were wearing caps and balaclavas (caps that cover the face), which aroused suspicion. The driver was ordered to stop, but he did not obey and entered a dirt road. The guards gave chase, but lost sight of the vehicle because of the dust raised. Shortly afterwards, the truck was found abandoned near a sugarcane field. The suspects fled and were not located. During the inspection, the agents found the load of coffee beans, already processed and ready for roasting.
