The Federal Police seized 1,250 kilos of drugs in the Igarapé Lage Indigenous Land in the Guajará-Mirim region of Rondônia.[1] According to the Military Police, the haul comprised 1,228.6 kilos of skunk marijuana, 10.3 kilos of cocaine hydrochloride and 11.1 kilos of coca base paste.[1] The drugs were hidden amid vegetation.[1]

According to the Federal Police, no one was arrested.[1] No suspects or vehicles linked to the find were reported.[1] The work began on Monday the 9th during patrol and territorial monitoring under Operations Madeira-Mamoré II and Protetor das Fronteiras e Divisas.[1] The seizure was disclosed on Tuesday the 10th and occurred during an inspection operation in the region.[1]

Because the area is difficult to access, a Gerência de Aviação de Estado helicopter was used to remove the material.[1] The operation brought together the Federal Police, Federal Highway Police, Military Police, Civil Police and Federal Revenue Service, plus the Brazilian Army and the National Indigenous Peoples Foundation.[1] The drugs were taken by police vehicles to the Federal Police station in Guajará-Mirim for legal procedures.[1] The force is investigating to identify those responsible, who could answer for drug trafficking.[1]
