Open questions the AI reported
No date for the procedure was published; 9 November 2026, the publication date of both reports, is used as the incident date.
The marijuana is reported only as about 500 doses, with no weight in grams or kilograms, so no cannabis weight is recorded.
The man is identified only as a passenger; no name, age or other identifier was released.
No street value and no breakdown of how the doses were packaged were published.
No custody ruling or court outcome was reported; the man was left at the disposal of a Seccional prosecutor's office while a judicial authority decides his case.
Both pages appear to reproduce the same Department of Antioquia police statement, so they are not fully independent reporting.
The photograph with both pages is a police handout captioned only as the captured man and the seized marijuana, with no further description of the scene.
Left out, as its quotation was not found in Minuto30: Both outlets published a handout photo credited to the Policía Nacional showing the arrested man and the marijuana seized from his luggage.
