Break For inside an IF

I'm breaking my head for an hour and I can not understand why this BREAK is not working inside my IF:

var nextSlide = searchElement("#next-slide").addEventListener("click", function(){  
var tabs = searchAllElements(".tab-name");
breakme: for(var i = 0; i < tabs.length; i++){
    var currentTab = tabs[i];
    if(currentTab.classList.contains("active")){
        if(i == tabs.length -1){
            var nextTab = tabs[0];
            return nextTab.firstChild.click();
        }else{
            var nextTab = tabs[i + 1];
            return nextTab.firstChild.click();
        }
        break breakme;
    }
}
});

This function that I created, looks for an element with class active and executes onclick of next. The result is bizarre !! it continues running the for and executing other elements ...
