🇧🇷 Matosinhos and Senhor dos Montes, São João del-Rei · Brazil
Military Police arrested four people in two drug-trafficking cases registered in
São João del-Rei on 29 and 31 October.[1]The first case was recorded on the
night of Thursday 29 October at about 19h40 in the Matosinhos neighbourhood.[1]A couple formed by a 22-year-old man and a 25-year-old woman was arrested
in flagrante in that Matosinhos action.[1]The second case happened on the
morning of Saturday 31 October at about 11h50 in the Senhor dos Montes
neighbourhood.[1]A 19-year-old man and a 24-year-old woman were arrested in
flagrante in that second action.[1]
After anonymous reports of dealing in a Matosinhos residence, officers went to
the address and stopped a man who had just bought a crack stone.[1]In that
action officers seized portions of marijuana and crack, R$164 in cash and mobile
phones.[1]In the Senhor dos Montes house officers found a bar and a raw
portion of crack as well as already portioned drugs, a precision scale,
instruments with drug residues, R$1,364 in cash and two mobile phones.[1]A
second roundup corroborates the Matosinhos seizure of marijuana and crack
portions with R$164 and phones leading to the couple aged 22 and 25.[2]
Both cases were registered by the Military Police and those involved were sent
to the competent authorities.[1]

Open questions the AI reported
No weight was published for the marijuana portions, so no kilograms can be recorded.
Crack amounts, the unspecified already-portioned drugs, seized cash of R$164 and R$1,364 and phones are mentioned only to explain the same mixed event and are not counted as cannabis figures.
The report covers two operations on 29 and 31 October; 31 October is used as the incident date as the latest step.
The cannabis link for the 31 October Senhor dos Montes operation is ambiguous because the detailed inventory names crack and unspecified portioned drugs while the second outlet records only crack there, so only the 29 October marijuana seizure is firmly established.
The second outlet's roundup also describes unrelated detentions, a traffic collision, a gun seizure and a homicide that belong to other events and are left out here.
Left out, as its quotation was not found in RCWTV: The same roundup records the Senhor dos Montes seizure of crack, a precision scale and R$1,364 with the arrest of a 19-year-old and a 24-year-old woman.
