31-year-old man suspected of drug trafficking in Bairro Cabral, in the northern
zone of Teresina, on Thursday 5 November 2026.[1]The BEPI team was on visible
patrol in the area when officers saw the man walking along the street and
noticed a bulge at his waistline.[1][2][3]He drew the officers’ attention by
changing his behaviour when he saw the patrol car approaching, and was stopped
and searched.[4][2]
During the personal search officers found a tablet of a marijuana-like substance
at his waistline and 198 wrappers of a crack-like substance hidden under his
underwear.[1][2][3]The man was arrested and taken with the seized material to
Teresina’s Central de Flagrantes, the police station where arrests in the act
are recorded, for the legal procedures.[1][2]The Piauí Military Police was the
source of the account, and a second outlet credited its photo to BEPI.[4]The
arrest was carried out by officers of BEPI, a unit of the Piauí Military Police,
during visible patrol in the area.[5]

Open questions the AI reported
No weight was published for the marijuana tablet, so no cannabis kilogram figure can be recorded.
The 198 crack wrappers are a different substance and are left out of cannabis figures.
No charge beyond suspicion of drug trafficking, and no court outcome, was reported; the case was at the arrest-in-the-act stage.
The suspect was identified only by the initials A.M.R.R.
All three accounts reproduce the same Piauí Military Police statement, so they are not independent reporting.
The A10+ photo is captioned only with the arrest headline and the credit Divulgação/SSP-PI; Parnaíba em Nota publishes two other SSP-PI images with the same case text, whose direct addresses could not be confirmed as showing this seizure.
Meio Norte credits its photo to the Piauí Military Police (Divulgação/PMPI) rather than to SSP-PI, so more than one handout image may exist for the same arrest.
Portal R10 and Parnaíba em Nota carry the same two SSP-PI handout photos, and no weight was given for the marijuana tablet, so the cannabis quantity remains unrecorded.
Military police arrested seven suspected drug traffickers in the Água Branca neighbourhood of Contagem and seized 218 kg of cannabis. The suspects, all with prior criminal records, were taken to the Contagem Civil Police station for investigation.
Civil Police arrested three men from Amazonas in a house in Cinturão Verde, Boa Vista, on 10 November 2026 with 201.5 kg of cannabis derivatives, including hashish and cannabis oil. Police valued the load at R$15 million and said it was meant for Rio de Janeiro; the men were booked for trafficking.
