In the notorious drugs capital of Sao Paulo, hundreds of ‘zombie-like’ Brazilians wander around the streets in a crack cocaine trance.
This unbelievable part of Brazil’s largest city features substance abuse so rampant that it has been dubbed ‘Crackland’.
Last week, a glamorous alleged local drug dealer known as the ‘Kitty of Crackland’ was pounced on by detectives and found with drugs in her underwear.
Lorraine Cutier Bauer Romeiro, 19, had hidden weed in her bra and crack cocaine in her knickers, according to police in Sao Paulo.
This alleged dealer is just one of the many drug pushers who are said to be exploiting the raging drugs epidemic going on in Brazil.
In Crackland, the drug culture is so rife that police actively turn a blind eye to addicts looking for their next hit, The Mirror reports.
Criminals who operate in the area do so with almost absolute immunity – even setting up stalls in the streets and giving out free samples to the hundreds of desperate people roaming the streets.
An individual hit of crack cocaine can cost as little as a chocolate bar, which makes it a dangerously affordable option for homeless residents.
