Military Police officers arrested a man suspected of drug trafficking in Conjunto Jardim, in Nossa Senhora do Socorro, Greater Aracaju, on the afternoon of Sunday 8 November 2026.[1] The approach was made by officers of the Radio Patrol Police Battalion (BPRp) during a patrol of the area.[1] The officers saw two men beside a garage in what looked like the handover of a package.[1] One of the men ran off across an empty lot and was not found, while the other was stopped and was carrying portions of marijuana.[1]

The man told officers he sold the drug and said there was more inside the garage.[1] In the garage officers found about 610 grams of marijuana, a precision scale, a roll of cling film and R$9 in cash.[1] The suspect and all the seized material were taken to the Central de Flagrantes, the station where arrests in the act are registered, for the legal steps to be taken.[1]
