Members of the Argentine Naval Prefecture (PNA) managed to disrupt the smuggling of tobacco bales bound for Brazil. During the procedure, three of the uniformed officers involved suffered minor injuries due to stones they received from the group of smugglers, for which the troops had to use rubber bullet shots to defend themselves, an instance in which one of the unknown persons was injured. .
The procedure was carried out on Thursday night in the Saltito Aurora area of Alba Posse when members of a prefectural patrol surprised a group of 15 people carrying out illegal smuggling activities on the right bank of the Uruguay River. When calling to stop, the federales were attacked with stones by the strangers who managed to escape, abandoning the load of tobacco.
Fortunately, those affected did not result in serious injuries. While the shipment was made available to the Federal Justice.
