The police statement dated 30 October 2026 says the search occurred on the previous Tuesday after 4 p.m., so 27 October 2026 is used as the incident date, while Radio Gdańsk gives only its 1 November publication date with no separate raid date.
The quantity is reported only as almost 3 kg, with no exact laboratory weight, and the expert had examined only part of the material when more than 2,690 portions were reported.
Radio Gdańsk describes the value as about 130,000 zlotys while the police headline describes it as more than 130,000 zlotys, so 130,000 zlotys is recorded as an approximate police estimate.
The amount of cash is given only as tens of thousands of zlotys and the number of phones is not specified, so no cash or phone figures are recorded.
The bail amount, the origin and intended destination of the marijuana, and any later court outcome beyond supervision, travel ban and bail were not reported.
