Military Police officers identified two adolescents on a public street in Campestre at about 11h50 during a police operation.[1] The two fled toward a wooded area as officers approached, and officers located and detained one of them.[1] The detained adolescent suffered scrapes on his arms and legs during the flight, apparently from contact with the vegetation.[1] He was taken to hospital for medical care and then presented to the Civil Police station.[1]

Police seized 49.2 grams of marijuana divided into individual portions from the detained adolescent, along with 150 reais in cash.[1] In São João Margem Esquerda in Tubarão on the evening of Tuesday 3, police seized 208 pins of cocaine totalling 188 grams near a residential complex.[1] No suspect was found in the São João seizure.[1] In Oficinas at about 17h, two adolescents were approached during police monitoring, 10 units of crack were found on the ground, and a sniffer dog located 19 more units hidden under a brick at the back of a property.[1] Officers seized 29 units of crack weighing 4.5 grams in Oficinas and detained the two adolescents for an infraction analogous to drug trafficking.[1]

The Military Police carried out the Campestre and Oficinas drug actions on the same day in Tubarão.[1] The occurrences in São João, Campestre and Oficinas were reported as happening on Tuesday day 3 and involved cocaine, crack, marijuana and money.[1] Police used a sniffer dog to locate the São João drugs hidden in vegetation.[1]
