A 25-year-old man was arrested on suspicion of drug trafficking in Jardim Primavera, Montes Claros, on the night of 12 November 2026.[1] Officers approached the suspect while he was accompanied by a woman.[1] Officers initially found nothing illicit on him.[1] The young man’s mother authorised the officers to enter the home to carry out searches.[1] The young man was taken to the Civil Police on-duty station together with the seized material.[1]

In the suspect’s bedroom officers noticed a strong marijuana odour.[1] The young man himself indicated some of the places where drugs were stored.[1] Officers seized a large portion of marijuana flower, four large bars and one medium tablet of marijuana, a large bar of hashish, a large crack bar, ecstasy pills, three intact .38 rounds and R$8,800 in cash hidden under the bed.[1]

The occurrence on Rua Amor Perfeito during Operation Fecha Regiao followed information that a resident was storing a large quantity of drugs at home.[1] The tip also pointed to intense movement of people, motorcycles and vehicles at the address.[1] A team monitored the property for about 50 minutes and identified movement matching the tip.[1] A ROCCA dog-patrol team also took part in the searches but found no other illicit material.[1]
