Military police arrested a 31-year-old woman on the afternoon of Sunday 8 November 2026 in the Batingas neighbourhood of Arapiraca, in Alagoas’s Agreste region, on suspicion of selling drugs.[1] The action followed a tip that drugs were being sold at a party at a chácara, a small rural property with a farmhouse.[2] They went to the property after a denunciation about drug sales at the event, and the suspect tried to hide in a bathroom.[3] Officers from the Canil dog unit, the Pelopes special operations platoon and the 3rd Military Police Battalion’s intelligence unit carried out the arrest.[1]

The woman was carrying a bag with vials of cocaine and cash when officers stopped her.[1] She told officers she kept more drugs at her home on Rua Princesa Isabel, in the same area.[1] At the house the sniffer dog K9 Beretta indicated drugs hidden above the ceiling lining, as well as cocaine portions in the kitchen.[1] The front door had been forced, and police said a man may have entered the house before they arrived.[2] In all, police seized 1.039 kg of marijuana, 182 g of crack and 37 g of cocaine.[1] Officers also took R$135 in cash, a precision scale, plastic packaging, two mobile phones and a notebook recording drug accounts.[1]

The woman identified herself as the owner of the drugs and was taken with the material to the Central de Polícia of Arapiraca.[1] She was booked there for drug trafficking.[3] The Alagoas Military Police announced the arrest in a single statement that also covered a separate motorcycle stop in the Cacimbas neighbourhood, where officers seized 92 marijuana portions weighing about 110 g and arrested two men, one of them a minor.[2] That Cacimbas stop is a separate occurrence from another report and its figures are not counted here.[2]
