No count, weight, size or estimated value of the cannabis plant was published, so only one plant is recorded.
The sources do not say whether the plant was seized for destruction or kept as evidence, or under what charge the man was held.
The suspect's name, age and any prior record were not published, and no custody decision or court outcome was reported.
Neither account says whether the house belongs to the man or his grandmother, or whether anyone else was investigated.
Both outlets published an almost identical text; Informe Baiano credits its page image only as Divulgação and the photo is not established to show this seizure, so only the Se Ligue Bahia image is linked.
The drone is recorded only in the text because the tracker's vehicle count covers vehicles and no field holds other seized equipment.
