Military police in Delmiro Gouveia arrested a mother and son and took a third man to the police station on the afternoon of Friday 6 November 2026.[1][2] The arrests were carried out by the Military Police of Alagoas through the 9th Military Police Battalion.[1][2] The mother and son were booked in flagrante for association for drug trafficking.[1][2]

The case spanned two points in Delmiro Gouveia, in the Pedra Velha and Ponto Chique II neighbourhoods.[1][2] Officers seized maconha alongside cocaine and crack, including packages stored in a wardrobe, as well as cash.[1][2] A Pelopes special-operations team investigating a motorcycle theft spotted a man riding a motorcycle on Rua Deputado José Bandeira de Medeiros.[1][2] After the rider tried to discard a package, officers stopped him, recovered it and found it held two portions of maconha.[1][2] The rider wore an electronic ankle bracelet and already answered for drug trafficking, and he said he was a user and told officers where and from whom he had bought the drugs.[1][2] At the house he indicated, officers saw a man and a woman at the gate who ran inside the house when they noticed the police.[1][2]

Officers contained the woman as she tried to discard maconha and cash and found the man in one of the bedrooms.[1][2] Relatives and neighbours tried to interfere and enter the house during the search, prompting officers to use an aerosol spray to disperse the group and protect those present.[1][2] The woman resisted, requiring force and handcuffs to restrain her, and all three were taken for examinations at the Delmiro Gouveia emergency care unit before being presented to the Civil Police at the integrated public-security centre.[1][2]
