A 25-year-old woman was arrested in flagrante delicto on Monday, November 2, during a Federal Highway Police (PRF) inspection of a bus traveling through the Grande Belém region. The operation took place at approximately 11:38 AM at the PRF Operational Unit located at kilometer 19 of the BR-316 highway in Benevides.
