Military Police officers arrested a man in flagrante on 1 November 2026 in the Bosque neighbourhood of Araguari, in the Triângulo Mineiro, on suspicion of drug trafficking.[1] The officers seized one bar of maconha, the Brazilian Portuguese word for marijuana, and 21 individual buchas, or wraps, of the same substance.[1] They also seized a precision scale, a mobile phone and R$368 in cash.[1]

The police action followed an anonymous tip about suspected trafficking on Rua Inhambus on Sunday the 1st.[1] When the suspect saw the officers, he tried to enter a residence and discarded a bag.[1] Officers searching during the stop found the drugs and the other seized materials.[1]

The Military Police said the case began with a report to the Disque-Denúncia 181 tip line about possible drug sales around Rua Inhambus.[1] Troops from the Operations Patrol went to the address to check the information.[1] After the arrest, the man was taken to the Civil Police station with the seized items for the applicable procedures.[1]
