The nine plants were described only as found, so they are recorded as seized plants although uprooting or destruction was not explicitly stated.
The amounts and value of the foreign-currency cash were not published, so no value is recorded.
No firearm recovery was reported despite the alleged two gunshots; whether a weapon was found or seized is unknown.
