Military police apprehended a 15-year-old boy on suspicion of involvement in drug trafficking on the night of Thursday 5 November 2026 in the União da Vitória area of the southern zone of Londrina, Paraná, with the incident recorded on Avenida Guilherme de Almeida.[1] According to the Military Police, a ROCAM team was patrolling a spot known for drug dealing when it saw the boy, who discarded an object as the officers approached.[1]

During the approach officers found marijuana portions in the boy’s clothing and R$10 in cash, and searches of the ground and the discarded object led them to further drugs.[1] In all, officers seized 15 portions of marijuana weighing 46 grams and one portion of hashish weighing 6 grams.[1] The same seizure included 64 Eppendorf tubes of cocaine totalling 70 grams and 21 portions of crack weighing 9 grams, recorded here only to explain the mixed seizure and excluded from the cannabis figures.[1]

The boy was apprehended for an infraction analogous to drug trafficking, taken to the police station, and the Conselho Tutelar, Brazil’s child-protection council, was also called in.[1]
