A package containing marijuana was found on the morning of Monday 9 November 2026 on a long-distance bus that had left Paraná and arrived at the Chajarí bus terminal, in the Federación department of Entre Ríos.[1] Workers cleaning the bus found the package on one of the front seats of the upper deck.[1][2][3][4] The rectangular package was wrapped in blue tape.[5]

Around 9:30 that Monday the bus drivers telephoned the Chajarí police station to report a package containing a suspicious substance.[1] The two drivers, aged 45 and 50, operated unit 4966 of Rápido Tata, a Scania coach.[5] Officers from the División Drogas Peligrosas of the Jefatura Departamental Federación went to the terminal with a trained drug-detection dog, and a field test of the contents was compatible with cannabis sativa, commonly known as marijuana.[1][2][3] The seized cannabis weighed 696 grams.[4] The substance was formally seized on the order of the judicial authority handling the case, and no arrest was reported.[1][2][3]

According to the drivers, the bus had begun its last trip in Paraná on the afternoon of Sunday 8 November 2026, passed through several Entre Ríos towns and reached Chajarí in the early hours of Monday.[1][3] Service records showed the coach departed Paraná at 18:45 on Sunday and arrived in Chajarí at 01:20 after stops in Villaguay, Villa Clara, Jubileo, San Salvador, General Campos, Concordia and Federación.[4] The prosecutor’s office must establish where the substance came from and the conditions in which it was abandoned on the bus, including whether the package had belonged to a passenger.[1]
