When inspecting the car, the agents located a chopper, an item used to crush substances, in the center console. Inside, traces of plant material were found that had characteristics similar to marijuana. The discovery of this substance may explain the driver’s quick escape, who abandoned the damaged vehicle to avoid being caught and the legal consequences of possession. The object was confiscated and attached to the police report.
Due to abandonment, the car had to be removed by tow truck and transported to a regulated parking lot.
Fines were imposed for driving without the necessary attention and for not removing the car from the road, which compromises safety and traffic flow.
The incident record was forwarded to the Linhares Civil Police Station. The fact was categorized as evasion of the scene of a traffic accident, an infraction stipulated in article 305 of the Brazilian Traffic Code.
