The environmental authorities took charge of the specimens to evaluate their health status, as well as verify the legality of their possession, since some species require special federal permits.

At least 10 vehicles were also seized at the scene, including collector cars such as a 2002 Chevrolet Camaro SS and a modified Volkswagen Sedan, as well as high-end motorcycles.

Additionally, magazines and ammunition were located, which is part of the ongoing federal investigation.
