The 3.7 kg is a preliminary police test result; no laboratory confirmation had been published when the reports appeared.
Police describe the total as over 3.7 kg, and the police statement's headline as almost 4 kg; the cannabis figure uses the stated lower bound.
The service area is named only as a miejsce obsługi podróżnych (MOP, motorway service area) in Aleksandrów County, so the place is recorded at district precision.
The reports give no car registration, no exact charge provision and no court outcome beyond the three-month detention order.
The police statement's third photo carries no separate caption confirming its content, so it is left out.
