Military police seized 24 cannabis-like plants at a house in the Jardim Santa Clara neighbourhood of Mogi Mirim, São Paulo state, on the morning of Wednesday 4 November 2026.[1] Officers went to the address after an anonymous tip reported cannabis cultivation on the property and described the structure used for it.[2] Police said they saw the plants through a gap in the gate before approaching two men on the premises.[1]

During the search of the house officers found an improvised growing structure fitted with its own lighting.[1] Officers also seized fertilisers, growing materials, a precision scale and a replica firearm.[1] Other people were in the house, including two adolescents, and the municipal guardianship council (Conselho Tutelar) was called, with a councillor present as the incident was recorded.[1] Technical forensic examiners also attended the property.[2]

The case was taken to the judicially designated police station, the material was held, and the people involved were questioned and released after the incident report was filed.[1] The nature of the plants was to be confirmed by forensic examination, so the plants are described only as resembling cannabis.[1]
