Municipal guards in Campo Grande detained a driver on Tuesday 10 November 2026 after he fled a traffic inspection and abandoned a stolen Hyundai HB20S.[1] The pursuit began around 12:39 when a traffic-enforcement team at Avenida José Nogueira Vieira and Rua Marquês de Pombal checked the car’s theft alert and ordered him to stop.[1] He drove along Rua Marquês de Pombal, crossed the BR-163 and returned along Avenida João Garcia Carvalho Filho before abandoning the car on Rua Rogério Cavalari in Loteamento Cristo Redentor and running into a wooded area.[1]

Guards found him after a search and seized a mobile phone they said he had hidden under a stone.[2] In the car they found two blocks of a substance similar to marijuana.[2] Questioned, the driver said he was to leave the car at a petrol station on the road out to Cuiabá on the instructions of someone who had called him, and said he did not know the car was stolen; he gave no reason for fleeing.[1]

He was taken to Depac Cepol, the community emergency police station, with support from another GCM team.[1] The drug went to Denar, the specialised narcotics unit, and the car to Defurv, the vehicle theft unit.[1] The theft report for the car had been filed in Recife, Pernambuco.[1]
