The Disque-Denúncia, a service that helps fight crime, created in 1995, when the city was experiencing a wave of extreme violence, released an assessment of the first six months of this year. Until June, the service registered 36,375 anonymous complaints about criminal activities throughout the state of Rio de Janeiro. Information was passed on to the security agencies that led to the arrest of 445 criminals, the seizure of 32 rifles, 190 pistols and revolvers, 30 grenades and 2,593 ammunition for various calibers of weapons. After denunciations passed to the Civil and Military Police, 647 tons of barricades installed by traffickers and militiamen to prevent the police from entering the communities, 9,779 units of crack, 700 bottles of loló scent and more than a ton of marijuana and cocaine. Linha Verde, a channel dedicated to denouncing environmental crimes, received more than 9,000 denouncements of forest deforestation, the illegal keeping and trade of wild animals, the sale and release of balloons, and mistreatment of animals. In all, 315 balloons, in addition to 3 tons of coal were seized in irregular ovens. More than 340 wild birds have been removed from captivity and released back into the wild.
