On 11 November 2026, a police operation in barrio Confluencia in Neuquén ended with the seizure of 45 grams of cannabis after a neighbour’s alert identified three people circulating in a car.[1] The operation began during a preventive patrol by officers of the División Seguridad y Operativa Bancaria, who intercepted the vehicle on calle Copahue near Obreros Argentinos after receiving the information.[1]
During the intervention the occupants voluntarily produced items inside the car, among them bags with a plant substance, a precision scale and two grinders.[1] On the finding the police requested the intervention of the División Antinarcóticos to determine what the substance was.[1] After the corresponding tests the specialised staff established that it was 45 grams of cannabis sativa, and the material was seized as part of the procedure.[1]
So far, the official information did not specify whether there were any detainees nor what judicial measures were adopted regarding the three occupants of the vehicle.[1]
