Officers from Concón’s 4th station, the 4ª Comisaría de Concón, carried out a
vehicular fiscalización, a roadside vehicle inspection, on Camino Internacional
in Concón.[1]Officers surprised the car’s occupants smoking handmade
marijuana cigarettes, called cigarrillos artesanales de marihuana in the local
accounts.[2]Officers detained two men of foreign nationality following the
vehicle search.[3]The two men were placed at the disposition of the tribunal,
the court that decides custody, the same day.[2]
Officers searched the car and found additional cigarettes containing the same
marijuana substance.[1]Inside the same vehicle officers found three payment
machines for processing card payments with tarjetas.[3]Officers also seized a
bladed weapon, an arma blanca, and a large sum of cash in the same search.[2]
The Camino Internacional stop was the cannabis-related procedure among two
police procedures reported in Concón that day.[1]Officers linked those finds
to the decision to detain the two foreign men and send them to the court.[1]
No weight or count for the marijuana cigarettes was published, so no cannabis weight is recorded.
The articles give only the publication date of 3 November 2026 with the men sent to the court during this day, so the incident date uses the publication date.
No charges, custody ruling or court outcome beyond placement at the tribunal's disposition were reported.
The same articles report a second, non-cannabis procedure in a house with notebooks, telephones and bicycles and two other detentions; that event is left out here and only the two cannabis-related detentions are counted.
The three accounts repeat the Carabineros version; no separate agency statement could be opened.
No media entry is included because the available images carry only the generic article title as caption and do not establish that they show this seizure.
