Brazil’s Federal Police operated in rural Concórdia do Pará, Pará, on 3 and 4 September 2026, and arrested one man during the action.[1][2] The agency said officers identified two illegal cultivation sites, eradicated about 2,900 cannabis plants and disabled structures used to maintain and process the crop.[1][2] The arrested suspect was taken to a local police station and booked in flagrante, the agency and CNN Brasil reported.[1][2]
CNN described the farms as rural and said investigators had located them through prior intelligence work.[2] Neither account names the suspect, gives the area of either plot, or reports a later court outcome.[1][2] The police notice was published on 6 September and updated on 8 September; CNN published its account on 7 September.[1][2] Both reports assign the arrest and plant destruction to the same operation, with no different count or location in the opened accounts.[1][2] The Federal Police photographs show cannabis crops and plant material being burned at the sites.[1]
