The article says the gang was arrested during the weekend before its 11 April 2018 publication, without giving the exact day; 8 April 2018 is used as the weekend incident date.
The article reports arrests but gives no number of people arrested, so no arrested figure is recorded.
The seizure is described as ruim 600 grams of marijuana, so 0.6 kg is recorded as a minimum.
The half kilogram of cocaine, 40,000 euros in cash, 35 mobile phones and three cars are part of the same event but are excluded from cannabis figures.
