As a result of the numerous evidences of the illicit activity, it was possible to verify how consumers carried the drug when leaving the investigated's house. With these police investigations, the exploitation phase of the operation was carried out, carrying out an entry and search of the home authorized by the head of court number 4 of Arrecife, as there was sufficient evidence that it constituted an active point of retail drug sales.
