08/08/2025 – On Friday (08/08), a police operation in Monsuaba, carried out by the 33rd BPM, resulted in the seizure of a vehicle, drugs, and an ID card. Acting on a tip from the Disque Denúncia, officers tried to intercept a dark green SUV suspected of being used for drug sales in Ponta Leste. The suspects fled toward Monsuaba — an area controlled by the Red Command — and fired at police, who did not return fire due to the presence of bystanders. The vehicle was later found abandoned at the edge of the forest with marijuana, cocaine, ether, an iPhone, and the ID of a 21-year-old known as “PH.” The case is under investigation by the 166th DP.
