The interception took place during a Military Police patrol on highway BR-470.[1] Officers moved in after noticing a vehicle travelling at high speed and making dangerous overtaking manoeuvres.[1] They stopped the car just past the Agronômica junction, in the direction of Rio do Sul.[1] During the inspection the driver appeared nervous and admitted that he was transporting drugs collected in Itajaí and destined for Pouso Redondo.[1] He was arrested on the spot and taken with the car and all seized materials to the Civil Police station.[1]

The stop yielded approximately 4.1 kilograms of maconha (marijuana) together with 501 grams of crack on the afternoon of Monday 2 November 2026 in Agronômica.[1][2] Inside the boot officers found five bricks of marijuana, a smaller piece of the same drug and just over half a kilogram of crack.[1] Officers also seized a mobile phone from the driver.[1]

The account describes Itajaí as the collection point and Pouso Redondo as the intended destination for the load.[1][2]
