More than 120 kg of drugs are incinerated by the Civil and Scientific Police in Moju, Pará
Cocaine, oxi, and crack seized in the Baixo Tocantins region were destroyed following a court order, under the supervision of the Public Prosecutor's Office and the Sanitary Surveillance.
The Civil Police of Pará (PCPA) and the Scientific Police of the State (PCEPA) carried out the incineration of 120.467 kilograms of drugs seized in the Baixo Tocantins Region on Monday (14). The destruction of the material took place at a ceramics facility located in the rural area of the municipality of Moju and was coordinated by the PCPA, through the PCPA's Corregedoria, the Regional Superintendence of Baixo Tocantins, and the Abaetetuba Police Station, in conjunction with the PCEPA, the Public Prosecutor's Office, and the Sanitary Surveillance of Abaetetuba.
“All these drugs are the result of drug trafficking crimes that occurred in the Baixo Tocantins Region. During the incineration, which is a legal procedure and always takes place under the supervision of members of the State Public Prosecutor's Office and the Sanitary Surveillance, more than 120 kg of cocaine, oxi, and crack were destroyed. This integrated action among public security forces is of fundamental importance for the swift destruction of drugs,” explained Delegate Mhoab Khayan, head of the Regional Superintendence of Baixo Tocantins.
Prior to the incineration, samples of the drugs were collected for forensic examinations by the Forensic Toxicology Laboratory of the Scientific Police of Pará (PCEPA). The drugs were seized in the second half of last year and at the beginning of this year.
“Criminal experts are responsible for analyzing seized samples, determining the chemical composition of the drugs, and confirming whether they are prohibited substances. Therefore, the Scientific Police is an essential arm in the fight against drug trafficking, as it is the technical-scientific report that supports the investigation and identifies illicit substances,” explained criminal expert and general director of PCEPA, Celso Mascarenhas.
The Civil Police emphasizes that the removal of these drugs from circulation represents a significant advance in combating crime, given that drug trafficking is directly linked to serious crimes such as robberies, homicides, and latrociniums.
