Huge stash of substances found behind tiny secret door in dealer's home

Police have confiscated more than 200kg of drugs and guns behind a secret door in a drug dealer's home.

Brazilian police discovered a significant amount of drugs hidden behind a secret square door built into a wall during a raid on a property. The door was camouflaged by the rest of the wall, but officers were able to uncover the tiny square shaped hatch cut out into the wall inside the property.

In a video, it can be seen that the door is covered in the same wall paper as the rest of the wall to disguise the contents behind the door. The video shows an armed officer pushing opening the hatch before a long corridor can be seen. Squeezing inside the hatch and into the corridor, the officer films the the hidden room and lined with countless blocks of drugs. In the video several firearms can be seen leaning against the wall.

Whilst the police have shared that two individuals have been arrested, the names of the individuals have not been shared. During the operation, gang members had attempted to block the polices path to the house. They have tried to force lorry drivers to block nearby streets so SWAT vehicles couldn't pass by to reach the house being raided.
