Dupla é presa com 2,4 kg de maconha e celulares em Arapiraca

On a Tuesday afternoon in Arapiraca, a routine patrol on the AL-220 highway became something more when officers noticed a white vehicle behaving in a way that warranted a closer look. What followed was an arrest, a seizure, and a reminder that the quiet interior of Alagoas is not untouched by the networks that move contraband through Brazil's cities and towns. Two people now face drug trafficking charges — their story folding into the larger, ongoing tension between law enforcement and the drug trade that persists across the region.
