Two men, aged 28 and 30, were arrested for drug trafficking on the afternoon of Wednesday 28 October 2026 in Fátima do Sul, Mato Grosso do Sul.[1] A team from the Força Tática, a tactical unit of the 14th Military Police Battalion (14º BPM), carried out the operation.[1] Military police said the incident was recorded at about 16:15 during a police blockade on Avenida 9 de Julho.[1] Officers stopped a vehicle occupied by the two men and, during the search, found a portion of a substance analogous to hashish.[1]
After the stop, the team searched addresses linked to the suspects and found further portions of drugs and a precision scale.[1] Police described the scale as equipment commonly used to weigh drugs.[1] In all, officers seized about 155 grams of hashish, 5.6 grams of marijuana (maconha) and 6.2 grams of skunk, a cannabis product sold under that name — about 167 grams of cannabis — together with the scale, a mobile phone and the vehicle.[1]
The two men were placed under arrest and taken, with the seized material, to the Civil Police station for the legal steps that follow.[1] The military police said the action was part of its commitment to confronting drug trafficking and protecting public safety.[2]
