Case data
Every number and detail the sources state, with the sources that state it.
No names, ages, exact arrest sites or ganja-specific suspect roles were published; it is not reported which of the four 13 November drug arrests the 100 grams of ganja belonged to.
No laboratory confirmation, street value or formal charges and court outcomes were reported beyond legal action being taken.
Yaba is a methamphetamine tablet and its 206 pieces plus 14 grams of broken yaba are excluded from the cannabis figures.
The 13 November seizure accounts for the full two-day ganja total of 100 grams; no ganja seizure was reported for 12 November.
The whole account rests on the district police media-cell release as reproduced by one accessible outlet, with no independent corroboration opened.
