On the morning of Wednesday 11 November 2026 the Rádio Patrulha team of the Military Police of Cassilândia was patrolling the streets of the Laranjeiras neighbourhood under Operation Subsídio Operante when it saw a man who became extremely nervous as the patrol car approached.[1] As he realised he would be approached the man suddenly put his hand to his waist, raising the officers’ alert level, and they adopted immediate containment and safety-control techniques.[1]

During the approach the officers established that the man had thrown a portion of maconha, marijuana, over the wall of a neighbouring house in an attempt to hide the drug.[1] A check of his details in the police system showed the man was serving restrictive measures on his liberty and wearing an electronic monitoring ankle bracelet.[1]

The man received a voz de prisão, the formal arrest spoken by officers at the scene, and was taken to the Civil Police station in Cassilândia for the legal procedures.[1]

The account comes from the commander of the 2nd Company of the Military Police of Cassilândia, Captain Maia, who presented the report of occurrences on Rádio Patriarca’s Rotativa no Ar programme on Thursday 12 November.[1]
