Military police apprehended an adolescent on the night of Sunday 8 November 2026
on Servidão Tupi in the Tapera neighbourhood of Florianópolis for an act
analogous to drug trafficking.[1]A Military Police patrol said it spotted the
youth because he matched the description of a person who had fled another police
team moments earlier.[1]When he saw the patrol car, he tried to escape and
resisted the approach.[1]
A search found small change and portions of marijuana and hashish on him.[1]A
sweep of the immediate surroundings found the rest of the drugs hidden under a
pile of construction sand.[1]In total, officers seized 99 portions of cocaine
weighing about 25 grams, seven portions of hashish weighing about 10 grams, five
portions of marijuana and R$597 in cash.[1]
Officers took the adolescent to the Central de Polícia de Plantão da Capital,
the capital’s on-duty central police station.[1]The Polícia Militar is the
uniformed state military police that carried out the patrol.[1]

Open questions the AI reported
No weight was published for the five marijuana portions, so the recorded 0.01 kg reflects only the seven hashish portions described as about 10 grams.
The article also reports a 2-8 November weekly balance of more than 27 kg of drugs including skank, hashish, dry, marijuana, cocaine and crack plus R$50,167; that combined total cannot be separated into cannabis and other substances and is left out as a separate campaign total.
The weekly balance of nine people taken for trafficking, two theft arrests and seven recaptured fugitives is left out here because it covers a different period and scope than the single Tapera apprehension.
The adolescent's name, age and any custody decision or later court outcome were not published.
The only accessible account opened for this 8 November 2026 apprehension is the TopElegance report; a 2017 ND Mais page about Servidão Tupi concerns a different, much earlier incident.
