The seizure made by the Military Police in Maracaju, 160 kilometers from Campo Grande, totaled 99.607 packages of cigarettes, with 20 packs each.
The goods were smuggled from Paraguay and brought in three carts, all of which were seized.
The vehicles had no record of theft or robbery, according to the PM. The drivers abandoned the trucks at a post at the entrance to the city and fled, probably when they saw the police.
The carts, with the contraband, will be taken to the Federal Police of Ponta Porã.
