Woman is caught transporting lança-perfume in luggage, in Petrópolis

extra14 September 2026 at 14:34

Federal Highway Police (PRF) agents seized 396 bottles of lança-perfume that were being transported in the luggage of a passenger on a bus stopped at a checkpoint on the BR-040 Highway, in Petrópolis, in the Mountainous Region of Rio, in the early hours of this Monday. The operation was carried out by teams from the Tactical Patrol Group (GPT/04) and the K-9 Operations Group (GOC), as part of Operation Divisas.

The bus was traveling the Rio x Belo Horizonte (MG) route and was stopped around 1:30 AM. During the checkpoint, the police found a revolver and six pieces of ammunition in the suspect's hand luggage. After locating the weapon and ammunition, the teams identified a ticket corresponding to a bag that was in the external compartment of the vehicle, where the bottles of lança-perfume were found.

Why this matters

The seizure of nearly 400 bottles of lança-perfume and a firearm on a bus traveling the BR-040 reveals the continuity of drug and arms trafficking on the roads passing through the Mountainous Region of Rio, directly affecting the safety of residents and travelers who use this highway. The PRF operation demonstrates the risk present in intermunicipal public transportation and reinforces the need for constant enforcement on this route connecting Rio to Minas Gerais.
