The article says the nursery was found on a Monday and was published on Wednesday 4 November 2026, so Monday is taken as 2 November 2026.
No arrests, named suspects or charges were reported; the specialist hemp team's investigation was still under way.
No weight, growing area or street value was published, only the count of 187 young plants, so no kilograms or hectares can be recorded.
Only one accessible source for this event was found.
The new account says police found the nursery on a Tuesday, while the existing report dates the find to Monday 2 November 2026; the incident weekday therefore remains unresolved.
The new account says more than 187 plants (ruim 187 hennepplanten), while the existing report records 187 young plants, so the exact count and growth stage remain imprecise.
The submitted page carries a photo file with no caption, credit or alt text confirming it shows this nursery, so no media entry can be supported from the opened evidence.
