The Military Police carried out two seizures of cannabis plants in Anchieta.[1] The first seizure happened on the afternoon of Friday the 6th in the Nova Jerusalém neighbourhood, after intelligence reported that a man with an arrest warrant was hiding in a house there.[1] During searches in the backyard of a residence, officers found one cannabis plant about 2 metres tall.[1] The man approached there had an arrest warrant for homicide issued by the criminal court of Vila Velha.[1] The man was arrested and taken to the Guarapari judicial police station.[1]

At night, another Military Police team found seven more cannabis plants in the Maimbá neighbourhood, also in Anchieta.[1] In that house, officers also seized seeds, capsules and packaging that may be linked to growing the drug.[1] Officers searched the area but found no one responsible for that material.[1]

The police asked residents to report information through the 181 hotline without having to identify themselves.[1]
