Brigada Militar officers arrested a man for drug trafficking on the morning of
Monday 2 November 2026 in the Vera Cruz neighbourhood of Passo Fundo.[1]Officers on motorised tactical patrol said they spotted the man carrying a small
pouch in front of a house already targeted by drug-trafficking complaints.[1]When he saw the patrol car approaching he ran into the interior of the property,
where officers followed him and stopped him.[1]A search of the residence
found portions of marijuana and cocaine along with a precision scale,
ammunition, cash, a mobile phone and the pouch he had been carrying.[1]
After being told the suspect had discarded an object before being approached,
teams went to the indicated place and found two bricks of marijuana weighing
about 1.107 kg.[1]A neighbour told police the suspect had thrown the object
into the patio of her house before the stop, and the second account described
community help as decisive in locating the discarded bricks.[2]
The man was formally arrested and taken to the Police Station for registration
of the incident and completion of legal procedures.[1]The seized material
remains at the disposal of the police authority for subsequent steps.[2]

The house search also found unspecified portions of marijuana and cocaine with no separate weights, so only the 1.107 kg in two bricks is recorded as cannabis and the cocaine is excluded.
No amount of cash, quantity of ammunition, or drug value was published, so no value or fine is recorded.
The man's name and age were not published.
No charge or court outcome beyond transfer to the police station for registration and legal procedures was reported.
Both accounts repeat the police version of the incident; no separate agency statement was opened directly.
