Law enforcement searched two currency exchange offices belonging to Beach Tour Ltda., located at 1010 and 1111 Agustinas.

According to preliminary information, the police were led to the offices following an investigation into a case of money laundering.

Officers from the Canine Tracking Unit of the PDI also arrived along with two dogs, presumably in search of drugs.
