The article gives no weight for the eight bags of apparent marijuana, so no cannabis weight is recorded.
No date for the arrest is given separately from the report's publication on 13 November 2026, which is used as the incident date.
No charges, custody status or court outcome were reported; the prosecutor will decide the men's legal situation.
The article does not name the street or neighbourhood of the municipal seat where the arrests took place, so the coordinates are for Chimalhuacán town.
Only one account of the arrests could be found; no agency statement or second outlet was available to confirm it.
The substance was described only as apparent marijuana with the characteristics of the plant, with no laboratory confirmation reported.
