Five Tons of Marijuana Seized in Joint Brazil Operation

In a coordinated effort to curb rising crime rates in the border region of Piauí and Pernambuco, Brazil, authorities launched 'Operação Divisa Integrada I'. This operation resulted in a significant discovery: a marijuana plantation yielding an estimated five tons of the drug. The operation, which began in the early hours of Friday, June 6th, focused on tackling drug trafficking, illegal firearm possession, and robberies. A spokesperson for the operation stated, "This is a major blow to the drug trade in the region, and demonstrates our commitment to maintaining safety and security for our citizens." The seized marijuana will be destroyed. The success of 'Operação Divisa Integrada I' highlights the importance of inter-state cooperation in combating cross-border crime.
