Overview
- Operação Torniquete, led by the 59th Police Precinct with support from the 15th Military Police Battalion, uncovered multiple clandestine workshops in Corte Oito.
- Officers recovered about 50 stolen motorcycles, with some found intact and others already dismantled.
- Seizures included packaged parts ready for sale, card machines, and a press used to compact drugs.
- Police say the operation disrupted a logistics node that supplied Comando Vermelho’s vehicle-receptation network across the Baixada Fluminense.
- The probe was launched after a tip naming a man known as “Dada” as the operator, and authorities are working to identify and arrest those involved.
