No name or age of the arrested man was published.
The number of cocaine portions is reported but no weight; the cocaine is not counted in the cannabis figures.
No custody decision, charge filed by prosecutors or court outcome was reported; the man was taken to the on-duty police station for the arrest report.
The article gives no street or exact location within Vila Nova, so coordinates are for the neighbourhood.
The seized photo published with the article is a WhatsApp-file police handout; its caption describes only the drugs and cash, not the motorcycle.
