The sources give no weight for the cannabis portion, describing it only as a small amount, so no kilogram figure is recorded.
The substance is described as marijuana or a marijuana-like substance with no laboratory confirmation reported.
The reports do not say whether the Honda Pop motorcycle is the one identified as having been used in the homicide, or why it was seized.
The man's name, whether the motorcycle belonged to him and any prior record were not published.
No charge, custody decision, court outcome or whether the arrest was in flagrante delicto is reported; the case was at the investigation stage.
The outlets reproduce the same Military Police statement from the 5th Battalion and are not independent reporting, and a page from the agency itself for this event could not be found.
The homicide under investigation is reported by other outlets to be the 2 November 2026 shooting of a 24-year-old in the Senhor Divino neighbourhood, but those accounts are not used as sources here and the link rests on the police description of the case.
No exact street address was available for the coordinates, which use the centre of Coxim as the location of the central area named.
