No weight was published for the bag of marijuana, so no kilograms can be recorded.
The 6,182,000-peso figure covers all seized weapons, vehicles and drugs together, not marijuana alone, so no cannabis-only value is recorded.
No separate operation date was published; 4 November 2026 is the publication date and is used as the incident date.
No detentions, charges or court outcomes were reported; both vehicles were described as apparently abandoned.
The reports do not give a separate cannabis-only count for magazines, cartridges, vehicles or tactical equipment, which belonged to the wider arsenal seizure.
The Quadratín Tabasco page carries an image credited only to the SSPC with no descriptive caption establishing that it shows these seized vehicles, so no media entry is included.
