Police in Rio Branco, the capital of Acre, arrested Daniel Ferreira de Oliveira
on the night of Thursday 29 October 2026 with about 2 kg of cannabis in an
apartment on Rua Vitória, in the Macauã neighbourhood in the upper part of the
city.[1] He was wearing an electronic ankle bracelet and was booked for drug
trafficking.[2] Acre Alerta reported that he was already facing a
drug-trafficking case.[3]
The arrest was made by the Batalhão de Operações Especiais (Bope), the state
military police’s special operations battalion, through its Rotam and Giro
units, after intelligence from Bope and the Grupo Especial de Operações em
Fronteira (Gefron), a border operations unit.[2] According to information
given to the police, Daniel received drugs from Bolivia at the business where he
worked, on Avenida dos Ipês at the corner of Rua Três in the same neighbourhood,
and took them to the apartment.[4]
Officers found him sitting by the entrance next to a washing tank, with a
backpack nearby.[2] Inside were two packages of a substance resembling
cannabis.[2] During the arrest he suddenly broke his own mobile phone, which
police said appeared to be an attempt to block access to the information stored
on it.[2] He was taken with the drug to the specialised police station, and
the Civil Police will investigate.[2]

- A Gazeta do Acre's text was republished almost word for word by Juruá em Tempo, so the two are not independent accounts.
- No estimated street value for the 2 kg of cannabis was published.
