when he saw the police car approaching, and they followed it and carried out the

sandal.[1]Inside the vehicle officers seized more than 100 grams of
marijuana, a precision scale, plastic packaging and more than R$400 in cash.[1]
Delegate Luiz Antônio said the man claimed the drug was for his own use.[1]The scale and packaging led police to suspect the drug was intended for sale.[1]He was taken to the Delegacia de Plantão, the police station handling
