On the morning of Friday 30 October 2026, military police in Cascavel, Paraná, seized one cannabis plant about 40 centimetres tall from a public street.[1] The plant was on Rua Francisco Beltrão in the São Cristóvão neighbourhood.[2] No one was named or taken into custody.[1]

The team was sent after the communications centre received a report of a plant resembling cannabis, known locally as maconha, on the public way.[1] At the scene, residents and passers-by told the officers where the plant was.[2] Officers judged that the plant had morphological features like cannabis and seized it.[2]

The plant was sent to the 1st clerk’s office of the 6th Military Police Battalion, the 6º BPM, for the usual steps.[1] Officers drew up a termo circunstanciado, a written police record of the occurrence rather than a named arrest.[2]
