16/04/2026 – On Thursday (16), a new phase of “Operation Sentinela” led by the Civil Police dismantled a drug distribution point in Morro do Santo Antônio. The intervention, targeting an area influenced by the Red Command (CV) faction, resulted in the arrest of two 20-year-old men and the detention of a 17-year-old minor serving as a lookout. At the scene, officers seized crack, cocaine, and marijuana, which featured the Jamaican flag on the packaging as a distinct faction brand. The suspects were caught in the act and arrested in a sector where the criminal organization ostentatiously marks its territory with faction acronyms spray-painted on community walls.
