17-year-old apprehended in Tangará da Serra with 2 tablets, 33 cannabis portions
Military police in Tangará da Serra apprehended a 17-year-old girl in the early hours of 5 November 2026 after a trafficking tip, seizing two marijuana tablets and 33 portions plus a precision scale. Because she is a minor the case is handled under Brazil's child and adolescent statute, and no weight or value for the drug was published.
Military police of Mato Grosso’s 19th Battalion apprehended a 17-year-old girl
suspected of involvement in drug trafficking in Tangará da Serra in the early
hours of Thursday 5 November 2026.[1][2][3]The operation seized two tablets and 33
portions of a substance analogous to marijuana, a police formulation used for
suspected cannabis before laboratory confirmation.[1][3]
The action began with a tip that a woman was keeping drugs at a house and
repeatedly leaving it to deliver narcotics to other parts of the city.[1][3]Officers monitored the address, found a girl matching the description and
stopped her in front of a house carrying a bag with three marijuana portions.[1][2][3]Police then searched the girl’s home and found another 30 portions and two
tablets of the same drug, a precision scale and other materials used in
trafficking.[1][3]The girl told officers nothing about the origin of the drug
and was taken to the city’s police station to record the case and take further
legal steps.[1][3]
Military Police did not report the total weight of the drug or give details of
the additional material seized.[4]No information was released about other
people possibly involved or about the origin of the seized drug.[4]

No weight was published for the two tablets and 33 portions, so no cannabis kilogram figure can be recorded.
Neither account names the neighbourhood of the house or gives an exact time beyond the early hours of 5 November 2026.
No custody, prosecutorial or court outcome for the 17-year-old was reported.
The drug is described as a substance analogous to marijuana, not as laboratory-confirmed cannabis.
The earlier 27 October 2026 Tangará da Serra case involving two other 17-year-olds and nine cannabis tablets is a separate event and is not covered here.
Left out, as its quotation was not found in CenárioMT: CenárioMT reports that because the suspect is 17, the case falls under the Estatuto da Criança e do Adolescente, Brazil's child and adolescent statute, which treats the conduct as an infraction analogous to the adult crime.
