Vizinhos, in southwestern Paraná, in the early afternoon of Sunday 8 November

Lourdes neighbourhood, where the Rádio Patrulha (RPA) patrol-car team stopped a
vehicle that seemed suspicious during a routine patrol.[3]The team belonged
to the 2nd Company of the 21st Military Police Battalion, the Paraná Military
Police unit covering the region.[3]
A search of the car found a backpack in the boot holding nine and a half bars of
marijuana weighing about 4.8 kilograms.[1][2]The second account describes the
contents of the nine and a half bars as a substance analogous to marijuana.[3]
The stop was made by the 2nd Company of the 21st Military Police Battalion after anonymous tips that passengers coming from Francisco Beltrão were carrying drugs.[2]The app driver was released after police found he had no part in transporting the drug.[2]According to the Military Police, the seizure caused an estimated R$ 96,000 loss to the traffickers.[2]

The weight is described as approximate (about 4.8 kilograms), and no laboratory confirmation of the drug was reported.
Neither account names the suspects or gives their ages, and neither reports a custody decision or a court outcome.
Only local outlets in Dois Vizinhos and Francisco Beltrão were found; no Paraná Military Police statement or state-level report was located.
Left out, as its quotation was not found in Rádio Educadora Dois Vizinhos: Both occupants of the vehicle were arrested at the scene and taken with the seized drug to the Civil Police, where the arrest in flagrante was formalised.
The RBJ page does not name a neighbourhood, so its account does not corroborate the Nossa Senhora de Lourdes location recorded in the report.
RBJ describes the drug as marijuana without reporting laboratory confirmation.
The R$ 96,000 figure is the Military Police's own estimate of the traffickers' loss and is not a confirmed street-value appraisal.
