Military police from the Força Tática, the Military Police’s tactical unit, arrested a woman on suspicion of drug trafficking and resisting arrest in the Tancredo Neves neighbourhood of Rondonópolis, in Mato Grosso, in the late afternoon of Friday 30 October 2026, logging the incident at about 5.55pm.[1] Officers were patrolling the area after reports that drugs were being sold there, mainly after 5pm.[1] On Rua das Codornas they saw a woman apparently handing an object to a man on a motorcycle, and the rider fled as they approached.[1] The woman also tried to escape on foot, threw away a plastic package and tried to damage her own mobile phone.[1] During the containment she struggled physically against a female officer, according to the police record, and the team used control techniques and pepper spray to stop the resistance.[2]

The package she dropped held marijuana, and a search of the house found six more portions wrapped individually plus a larger one, for about 223 grams in all.[1] A female officer’s body search found 21 portions of cocaine hidden in the suspect’s bra, totalling about 20 grams.[1] Police also seized R$38.50 in cash from the kitchen table.[1] A three-year-old child found inside the house was left in the care of a tutelary counsellor from the Conselho Tutelar, the municipal child-protection council.[1] Three mobile phones were also seized, one with the suspect at the time of the approach and two found inside the house.[3]

The woman was taken with the drugs and the money to the 1st Police Station for the legal procedures.[1] The motorcyclist was not found, even after officers followed him.[3] The case is to be investigated by the civil police.[3]
