The joint action, in support of the investigation led by the Irituia Police Station and the Regional Superintendence of Salgado, was launched with the aim of locating and seizing firearms, ammunition, cell phones, and other objects related to the illegal trade of weapons. The investigation began from a police inquiry regarding evidence of illegal firearm trade and money laundering.
In total, the following items were seized during the action: one firearm; restricted caliber ammunition; blank medical prescription pads; stamps with names and registrations of health professionals; medications; a forged functional ID of the Military Police (PM), which contained the data and photograph of the suspect, in addition to handcuffs, communication radios, and a cell phone.

All material found was duly collected, cataloged, and presented at the DRFR for legal procedures.
The accused was caught in the act and sent to the police unit for the necessary procedures, where he will remain at the disposal of Justice.
