Military Police arrested a man and apprehended an adolescent in an anti-trafficking action in Portelinha 2, in the Lapa area of Campos dos Goytacazes, on the morning of Wednesday 4 November 2026.[1] Portal OZK places the community in Parque Maciel and says the action was carried out by the 8th Military Police Battalion.[2] One of the two detained is a 14-year-old adolescent.[2]

According to the Military Police, teams of GAT I/1 and GAT I/2 were patrolling when they noticed people behaving suspiciously.[1] When the patrol cars approached, those involved tried to flee into the community, but one adult and one adolescent were caught.[1] Portal OZK reports that the GAT teams, joined by the operations officer, entered the community under an operational order and that one suspect was caught on the top floor of a building carrying a bag while another was found closing an apartment door.[2]

Officers seized 28 wraps of cannabis (buchas de maconha) with the pair.[1] The same seizure included 244 cocaine pins, 12 bottles of loló, a homemade drink whose name is also used for street drug mixtures, and four crack rocks.[2] Police also took a replica pistol, a mobile phone and R$ 1,041 in cash.[2]

The two and the seized material were taken to the 134th Police Station in the city centre.[1] Portal OZK reports that the police authority kept both in custody, booked for drug trafficking under article 33 of Law 11.343/2006, Brazil’s drug law.[2] Police said body-worn operational cameras recorded the action and the images were kept for any later analysis in the investigation.[2]
