巴西警方在里约热内卢一处贫民窟查获创纪录的48吨大麻，这一发现源于一只嗅探犬在一次打击犯罪团伙的常规行动中的偶然发现。
此次行动在城北大型贫民窟综合体马雷综合社区展开，一只名为“绿巨人”的警犬在一个废弃水箱下方发现了可疑物品。
“警员随后在里面发现了一个地堡，这批数量庞大的毒品就藏在那里，”警犬作战营指挥官卢西亚诺·佩德罗·巴博萨中校说道。
该营在Instagram上发布了此次缉毒行动的通报，并附上了行动结束后“绿巨人”的照片。
“‘绿巨人’配得上48吨零食，”一名网友在评论中打趣道。

“这一切都要归功于这只警犬的工作，”他说道，“此次行动并非基于情报线索。”
军方警方的一份声明称，数十名警员耗时五小时才将这批毒品转移完毕，这批毒品被分装在四辆卡车上。
在转移过程中，警员遭到了犯罪分子的枪击，“引发了交火”，并最终逮捕了一名涉嫌枪手。
巴西此前最大规模的毒品缉获记录是在2021年，当时公路警方在南马托格罗索州查获了36.5吨毒品。
此次于周二启动的警方行动共有250名军警参与，他们同时还查获了五支步枪、四把手枪以及26辆被盗车辆，其中包括汽车和摩托车。
警方发布了行动视频，展示了“绿巨人”的工作过程以及警员收缴证据的画面。

里约热内卢大片区域——主要是低收入、人口密集的社区——被从事贩毒和其他犯罪活动的犯罪团伙控制。
在全球范围内，警犬一直在协助调查人员搜缴毒品。去年7月，芝加哥的一只警犬在一次缉毒行动中查获了价值100万美元的可卡因。2023年12月，警犬协助美国边境官员查获了隐藏在墨西哥边境辣椒酱中的价值超1000万美元的毒品。同年早些时候，意大利的一只警犬在焦亚陶罗港查获了藏在香蕉箱中的3吨可卡因。
Police dog named Hulk sniffs out 48 tons of marijuana in record bust in Brazil

Brazilian police seized a record 48 tons of marijuana in a favela in Rio de Janeiro, uncovered by chance by a sniffer dog during a regular operation against criminal factions.
During the operation in the Complexo da Mare, a large complex of favelas in the north of the city, a dog named Hulk indicated there was something suspicious under an abandoned water tank.
An officer “discovered a bunker inside where this entire quantity of drugs had been hidden,” said Lt. Col. Luciano Pedro Barbosa, commander of the Canine Operations Battalion.
In a post on Instagram, the battalion touted the bust and posted an image of Hulk after the operation.
“Hulk deserves 48 tons of treats,” quipped one commenter.

Barbosa told AFP the seizure was the largest in Brazil’s history and “represents a financial loss of almost $10 million for the criminal faction involved.”
“All of this was thanks to the work of the dog,” he said. “It wasn’t based on intelligence.”
A military police statement said it took dozens of officers five hours to remove the drugs, which were transported in four trucks.
During the removal, officers came under fire from criminals “triggering a shootout” and leading to the arrest of a suspected gunman.
The previous record for the largest drug seizure in Brazil was in 2021 when highway police seized 36.5 tons in the state of Mato Grosso do Sul.
The police operation, launched Tuesday, involved 250 military police officers, who also seized five rifles, four pistols and 26 stolen vehicles, including cars and motorcycles.
Police posted video of the operation showing Hulk at work and officers seizing evidence.

Large swaths of Rio de Janeiro — mainly low-income, densely populated communities — are under the control of criminal factions who engage in drug trafficking and other crimes.
Police dogs routinely help investigators uncover drugs around the world. Last July, a K-9 sniffed out $1 million worth of cocaine in a Chicago drug bust. In December 2023, police dogs helped detect over $10 million of drugs hidden in jalapeno paste at the U.S.-Mexico border. Earlier that year, an Italian K-9 helped sniff out three tons of cocaine hidden in a case of bananas in the port of Gioia Tauro.
