Military police detained three men and apprehended a teenager in Feliz Natal, Mato Grosso, on the night of Tuesday 10 November 2026, for drug trafficking and illicit drug use.[1] The stops began during a patrol in an area known as Vila dos Sapos, where the first person approached was a 17-year-old caught with a portion of marijuana.[1] Questioned by officers, he said he had bought the drug and pointed to the address where he said he obtained it.[1]
At that address officers found a second suspect, who tried to flee when he saw the military police vehicle and was detained.[1] Inside the property the team seized one marijuana tablet and a precision scale.[1] He told police that two other suspects had more drugs taken from that place.[1] At a second address officers stopped a third man and seized two more marijuana tablets from inside a vehicle.[1] The fourth suspect was found at a third address, inside a Fiat Uno, where further portions of the same drug were seized.[1] The four were taken to the Civil Police station with the seized material so the occurrence could be registered.[1]
A local account of the military police 3rd Platoon placed the occurrence on Rua Industrial, in the Vila Esperança neighbourhood, after the approach in the area known as Vila dos Sapos.[2] It said the occurrence was recorded on Rua Industrial in Vila Esperança.[2] That account said officers found five tablets of a substance similar to marijuana, plus portions and a precision scale.[2] It said the second person stopped was 18, threw a wrap to the ground and fled on foot before officers caught him.[2] Police said he had an electronic ankle monitor fitted that same afternoon at the Feliz Natal court.[2] By the end of the day he had broken the monitor off and removed it, and he did not say where he had discarded it.[2]
Officers then stopped a 20-year-old nearby.[2] At the address he indicated, the team found two tablets of a substance similar to marijuana inside a pickup.[2] The fourth person, also 20, was found at a residence where officers found a Fiat Uno they said had been used to carry the drugs.[2] A black bag at that address held two further tablets, 23 wraps and two large portions of intoxicant.[2] Notícia Max said the suspects had been identified as members of a criminal organisation and that the seized drug was a substance analogous to marijuana.[1] The local account said the police record listed suspected drug trafficking, criminal organisation and breach of a precautionary measure, but that the file it was given did not detail the evidence for a faction link.[2]
