🇧🇷 BR-163, Jardim Centro-Oeste, Campo Grande, Mato Grosso do Sul · Brazil
Military Police in Campo Grande arrested 19-year-old Bolivian Rider Salguero
Garcia and 28-year-old Brazilian Isabella Silva Garcia de Feo on Sunday 8
November 2026 as they tried to take cannabis to São Paulo.[1][2]The inspection
took place on the BR-163 highway in the Jardim Centro-Oeste area of the city.[1]The bus was bound for Brasília, and officers were acting on an anonymous
tip that a passenger was carrying drugs.[1]In the luggage hold, officers
found a blue suitcase smelling strongly of cannabis.[1]A second regional
outlet reported that the Força Tática of the 6th Independent Military Police
Company stopped the bus in the early hours of Sunday.[3]
The suitcase belonged to Isabella, whom officers identified from the passenger
list, and she confirmed she was carrying cannabis.[1][4]She said she had
collected the drug in Ponta Porã, on the border with Paraguay, and was to hand
it to a person at the bus station in Bauru, São Paulo state, whose name she did
not know.[1][4][2]The regional outlet reported she said she would be paid R$1,000
for the trip.[3]
In a later inspection during the same check, officers noticed Rider was nervous
and trying to hide his face, and he admitted he was also carrying drugs.[1]Eight portions of cannabis weighing 8.5 kg were found in his suitcase; he said
he had collected the drug in Campo Grande and did not yet know the delivery
address in São Paulo.[1][4]The regional outlet reported the second suitcase held
8.514 kg and that he said he would be paid R$500 to carry it.[3]
The two seizures totalled 42.7 kg of cannabis, whose value was not reported.[1]Both were arrested for drug trafficking and taken to a Depac, a police
station handling arrests brought in for immediate processing, with the drug and
seized items.[1][4][2]The regional outlet said the material was weighed at Denar,
the specialised anti-narcotics police station, and that investigators would
check for links between the two seizures and for other participants.[3]
The arrest was made by the Força Tática of the 6th Independent Military Police Company.[1]

Neither report gives an estimated value for the 42.7 kg.
No charge, custody hearing or court outcome has been reported; the case is dated to the day of the arrest.
The Campo Grande News body says one passenger is Bolivian and the other Brazilian, while its headline and standfirst say 'Bolivianos' and an AI summary line calls both Bolivian; the body text is used here.
The narrative reports the two passengers were taken to a Depac station, while the second outlet says they were taken to Denar, where the drug was weighed; both accounts are attributed separately.
Campo Grande News says the first passenger would receive money without a figure, while the second outlet states R$1,000 for her and R$500 for him; the payment amounts rest on that one account.
The article also recalls a September operation in Terenos in which 28 people swallowed cocaine capsules; that is a different event and is left out of this report.
Only two accounts were found; the second reproduces a Jornal Dia Dia text and does not independently investigate the stop.
Radio Jota FM gives the total as 42.7 kg and does not mention the 34.2 kg figure the JBR/Jornal Dia Dia text reports for the first suitcase alone, the discrepancy already noted in the report.
Fátima News credits Ligado na Notícia and Campo Grande News and appears to be an aggregated reprint rather than an independent account.
This page adds no custody hearing, charge or court outcome beyond the arrest.
