Santa Catarina’s Military Police arrested a 19-year-old man for drug trafficking
in Passo Manso, a neighbourhood of Blumenau in the Vale do Itajaí, on the night
of Thursday 29 October 2026.[1][2]At about 9.16pm, during a patrol, officers saw
three people behaving suspiciously, and the group scattered when they noticed
the police car.[1]Two of them were stopped in the courtyard of a condomínio,
a walled housing complex, and nothing illicit was found with them.[1]The
third ran into an apartment where he did not live, and officers approached him
there.[1]
A search of his backpack turned up about 98 grams of cannabis, already divided
and packaged, plus cash, a precision scale, a roll of plastic film, two mobile
phones and papers with notes that police said may be linked to trafficking.[1]He was arrested and taken with all the seized material to the Central de Plantão
Policial, the city’s duty police station, for the legal procedures.[3]

Case data
Every number and detail the sources state, with the sources that state it.
No charge, court appearance or bail decision was reported; both accounts end with the man at the Central de Plantão Policial.
Neither report gives the amount of cash seized or an estimated street value for the 98 grams of cannabis.
Police did not name the man or the condominium, and neither report names the street where he was stopped.
The photograph on the Jornal de Pomerode report is an illustrative image credited to SECOM, not a picture of this arrest, so it is not listed as media.
The page's brief description does not name the man, so the match to the 29 October arrest rests on the same Passo Manso neighbourhood, the same cannabis-and-trafficking-materials description, and the next-day timing.
