Civil Police in Dracena, in the interior of São Paulo state, arrested a 33-year-old man for drug trafficking in flagrante on Friday 6 November 2026.[1] The arrest came during the execution of a search and seizure warrant at a house on Rua Mário Quintana, in the Jardim Brasilândia neighbourhood.[1]

The warrant was issued by the courts after a request from the police and a favourable opinion from the Public Prosecutor’s Office, following an investigation by the specialised General Investigations Unit (DIG) and the Drugs Investigations Unit (Dise).[1] In the house, officers found portions of crack and marijuana, a sum of money in notes of different values and a mobile phone, and also seized a motorcycle.[1] Police said the warrant was meant to deepen the investigation into the storing and selling of drugs.[1]

The man was arrested on suspicion of drug trafficking and remained in custody at the disposal of the courts, awaiting a custody hearing.[1] O Imparcial, an outlet based in Presidente Prudente, reported the same Friday arrest of a 33-year-old man in a home search in Jardim Brasilândia, with crack, marijuana, money, a phone and a motorcycle seized.[2]
