Military police arrested four people during a search-warrant operation at a home in Itaúna's Piedade neighbourhood on 12 November 2026. Officers seized marijuana and hashish alongside crack, ecstasy, a 9mm pistol and ammunition; all detainees were taken to the Civil Police station in Divinópolis.
Military police carried out an anti-trafficking operation in Itaúna on Thursday
12 November 2026.[1]The action began with the execution of a
search-and-seizure warrant issued by the 2nd Criminal and Youth Court at a
property in the Piedade neighbourhood.[1]
Inside the home officers found a 9mm Israeli-made pistol with an attached laser
sight and an extended magazine holding 34 live rounds hidden in a boot in a
25-year-old woman’s closet, along with portions of crack in the same
compartment.[1]With sniffer-dog support from the ROCCA unit, officers found a
larger pressed portion of crack in the front of the same shoe.[1]In a room
belonging to a 31-year-old man, officers seized seven ecstasy tablets, a portion
of hashish, a portion of marijuana, cash and a firearm-maintenance kit.[1]Officers seized additional portions of marijuana in the hallway of the house and
inside a Chevrolet Astra belonging to a 69-year-old man.[1]
The 25-year-old woman was arrested for illegal possession of a restricted-use
firearm and drug trafficking, the 31-year-old man for drug trafficking, and the
69-year-old man was taken in on suspicion of complicity and concealment.[1]A
fourth person, aged 43, was arrested for slander after loudly accusing the
police team of planting the seized materials.[1]The detainees and all seized
materials were taken to the Civil Police on-duty station in Divinópolis for
confirmation of the flagrant arrests and further legal steps.[1]
Case data
Every number and detail the sources state, with the sources that state it.
No weight, count or value was published for the marijuana portions, the hashish portion or the cash, so no cannabis weight or cash figure is recorded.
The cannabis and hashish are described only as seized portions, with no laboratory confirmation reported.
The 9th Military Police Company first said the operation had occurred in Várzea da Olaria, while the detailed account places the target home in the Piedade neighbourhood; the report uses Piedade.
No names were published for the four people taken in, and no charge, custody or court outcome beyond the on-call station referral was reported.
Only one accessible outlet account of this event was found after searching in Portuguese.
Folha do Povo Itaúna illustrated the Piedade raid with a Tático Móvel banner photo of a pistol and large cash stacks that does not match the 9ª Cia release amounts, so no event photo is listed.
