Neither account gives a separate date for the two interventions; 4 November 2026 is the publication date of both reports and is used as the incident date.
No charges or court outcome were reported; both men were left with the narcomenudeo investigation unit.
The 10 grams of cristal are excluded from cannabis figures because they are not cannabis.
