Two men were arrested in flagrante for drug trafficking on the afternoon of 3 November 2026 during a Military Police action in the Redentor neighbourhood of Fernandópolis.[1] The case was registered on Rua Benjamin Reis at a property police described as the target of complaints about drug sales.[1] Officers approached the pair after one discarded a portion resembling marijuana on seeing the patrol car and the other threw a bag into a vacant lot behind the property.[1]

In the discarded bag officers found bricks appearing to be marijuana as well as crack and cocaine portions and a precision scale.[1] Officers found eight more marijuana portions on a bed during a search of one suspect’s house.[1] In total officers seized about 1.6 kilograms of marijuana along with 107 grams of cocaine and 235 grams of crack plus the other objects.[2] Officers also seized cash, a precision scale and a mobile phone, reported as R$70 in cash and a mobile phone taken from the man.[1]

The two men were taken to the Plantão Policial, where they remained held at the disposal of the courts.[2] After presentation of the case, the police authority ordered a trafficking report to be drawn up.[1]
