Brazilian police use surveillance to arrest suspects in Cabrobó and Duque de Caxias

In Cabrobó, Pernambuco, Civil Police detained two men in a drug‑trafficking operation after a domestic‑violence call led officers to a known drug point. The raid seized crack, mobile phones and dismantled the Santa Rita trafficking site, with authorities seeking preventive detention for the suspects.

In Duque de Caxias, Rio de Janeiro, the municipal Smart Duque surveillance system—equipped with artificial‑intelligence facial‑recognition cameras—generated alerts that helped police locate and apprehend two fugitives, one wanted for unpaid alimony and another for theft. Both arrests illustrate coordinated police action and the growing use of electronic monitoring to combat crime in Brazil.
