PRF catches woman transporting lança-perfume in luggage, in Petrópolis

oglobo14 September 2026 at 14:23

Federal Highway Police (PRF) agents found 396 bottles of lança-perfume transported in the luggage of a passenger on a bus traveling from Rio to Belo Horizonte (MG). The action took place on BR-040 Highway, at the height of Petrópolis, in the Mountainous Region of Rio, in the early morning of this Monday.

The bus was stopped around 1:30 AM during an inspection. Teams from the Tactical Patrol Group (GPT/04) and the K-9 Operations Group (GOC) carried out the vehicle search.

In the suspect's carry-on luggage, police found a revolver and six rounds of ammunition. The action was carried out under Operation Divisas.

Why this matters

The seizure of nearly 400 bottles of lança-perfume on BR-040 reveals a drug trafficking route in Rio's mountainous region, directly impacting the safety of travelers and residents in the area. The operation demonstrates the PRF's ongoing fight against the illegal transportation of narcotics and weapons on federal highways in the state.
