Military police arrested one passenger on suspicion of drug trafficking in Dois Vizinhos, in southwestern Paraná, on Wednesday afternoon, 4 November 2026.[1] The arrest took place at about noon after police received an anonymous tip that a vehicle was carrying illicit products.[1] The officers were patrolling when they stopped a car used for app-based rides in the town.[1]
The stopping team was Alpha, assigned to the 2nd Company of the 21st Military Police Battalion.[1] The search found a backpack with approximately 2.75 kilograms of a substance described as analogous to maconha, the Portuguese word for marijuana.[1] That weight is 2.75 kilograms, with the amount written in Brazilian decimal-comma notation as 2,750 quilos.[1] Police also found a mobile phone.[1]
The driver of the app-based car was released, while the passenger received an order of arrest.[1] Officers seized the substance and the phone and forwarded them, along with the passenger, for the appropriate legal procedures.[1]
