Três Lagoas’s Delegacia de Atendimento à Mulher (DAM), the women’s police
station, carried out Operação Sclopetum on Wednesday 4 November 2026 to find and
seize firearms linked to domestic violence.[1]Officers served seven search
warrants, six of them in Três Lagoas and one in Inocência, the second carried
out with the Inocência Civil Police.[2]The operation ended with two men
detained.[3]One was held under an open arrest warrant for breaching an
emergency protection order.[1]
The second was the man responsible for a house where police found portions and
seeds of cannabis, as marijuana is known in Brazil, a precision scale and two
grow tents used to produce the plant.[2]The outlet said the property held a
setup for cultivating and selling drugs.[2]He was arrested in the act and
charged withdrug trafficking.[1]
The searches also took a loaded revolver ready for use, an air rifle and a
pellet pistol out of circulation.[2]The Civil Police said the air rifle and

to frighten and coerce victims.[2]The Civil Police presents the precautionary
seizure of guns in domestic-violence cases as a way to avert escalation towards

Open questions the AI reported
Only RCN67 states that two people were detained; the Civil Police statement and Hojemais mention only the protection-order arrest and the trafficking charge without counting the total.
The sources give no weight for the cannabis portions and no number of plants seized or stored, so no kilogram or plant figure is recorded.
Whether the grow tents held growing plants, and how many, was not reported.
The cannabis-growing address is not identified and is given only as one of the seven searched properties in Três Lagoas or Inocência.
Neither man was named, and their ages were not published.
No custody hearing or court outcome was reported; the trafficking case was at the arrest and flagrant-charge stage.
The police handout photographs carry no captions identifying the cannabis material, so the media entries describe only what the page text states.
The outlet's headline says it closed the grow tent, while the text says police found two grow tents; this report states they were found and seized.
Military police and the Federal Police-coordinated Ficco task force arrested three men after finding cannabis-derivative laboratories in a Sumaré house and a Nova Odessa apartment with three indoor grow tents. Police linked the sites to dry and ice cannabis products and reported about 3.6 kg of marijuana, plus cocaine and production equipment.
Brazil's Federal Police launched Operation Pinotus on 6 November 2026, serving arrest warrants in Camboriú, Santa Catarina, and Campo Grande, Mato Grosso do Sul, plus one search warrant in the state capital. The force said the investigation began with the seizure of about 167 kg of marijuana in Corumbá in September 2025 and targets a group accused of drug trafficking and violent crime.
Federal Police launched Operation Caronte on 4 November 2026 to dismantle a suspected interstate trafficking network first identified after a 25 kg cannabis seizure in Barra do Garças in July 2023. Officers are executing three preventive arrest warrants and five search warrants in Amazonas and Ceará under court orders.
Military Police seized 34.59 kg of cannabis in about 100 tablets and two sacks from a house in Aclimação, Uberlândia, on 3 November 2026. Two men aged 35 and 38 were arrested and taken to the on-duty Civil Police station with the drugs and other seized items.
