Guarda Municipal officers in Cascavel, western Paraná, seized a suitcase holding several large tablets of a substance similar to marijuana on the night of Thursday 5 November 2026.[1] The suitcase had been left abandoned at Gate B of the Cascavel bus terminal and drew the attention of terminal staff because of a strong smell of coffee coming from it, possibly used to disguise the smell of the drug.[1] Inside, officers found several large marijuana tablets and one smaller tablet packed separately.[1]

The drug weighed about 25.8 kg, according to the Guarda Municipal account published by Portal CATVE.com.[2] The suitcase also held women’s underwear, a sanitary pad, rolling papers and a pair of children’s flip-flops apparently sized for a child of 2 to 3, plus a blanket with a Spider-Man print.[1]

The belongings led officers to suspect the suitcase belonged to a woman, but the identity of whoever was carrying it was not confirmed.[1] The material was sent to the Civil Police station for official weighing and investigation, and no one had been located at the time of reporting.[1]

The action began after terminal staff noticed the abandoned bag and alerted the security teams, who came to the gate and opened the suitcase to check it.[1]

The Guarda Municipal, Cascavel’s municipal guard force, said the smaller separately wrapped tablet appeared to be reserved for personal use.[3] Rádio Educadora reported that the municipal guards confirmed the presence of the drug on the spot and that no suspect had been located.[4]
