Two adolescents were apprehended on the morning of 10 November 2026 on suspicion of drug trafficking and association for drug trafficking on Rua Roberto Sordile Modena in Jardim Santa Marta, Vargem Grande do Sul.[1] The occurrence was recorded at about 8:36 a.m. by a Military Police patrol from the 24th Interior Military Police Battalion.[1] Officers were on patrol in the neighbourhood after receiving a tip that several individuals were taking turns selling drugs on the street.[1] Upon entering the street, the patrol encountered two youths who tried to flee when they saw the police vehicle approach but were stopped.[1]
During a personal search, one youth was holding a crumbled cannabis portion ready for consumption that he dropped to the ground, and each youth was carrying a mobile phone.[1] Both teenagers remained silent when questioned about drug trafficking, though police said they were already known for trafficking involvement.[1] Officers searched a nearby plot where drugs were reportedly hidden and found two bags in the bushes containing a 343-gram cannabis brick and 346 zip-lock portions weighing 800 grams and ready for sale.[1]
Confronted with the seized drugs, both adolescents confessed to the patrol that the material belonged to them.[1] They told officers they had started selling that day after acquiring a large quantity of cannabis, which they chopped, packaged and hid at the site.[1] The youths were taken to an emergency care unit for a medical examination and then to the police station, where the civil police delegate ratified their apprehension.[1] They were placed at the disposal of the judiciary and transferred to the Fundação CASA Andorinhas facility in Campinas.[1]
