No figure for the number of plants grown or for the weight, area or value of the cannabis was published; only the nine jars seized are stated.
The cannabis found in the jars and bags was still being examined, so its weight and composition were not stated.
The man's brother's home was also searched, but no charge or detention of the brother is reported.
The reports give no separate date for the searches; 4 November 2026, when prosecutors ordered the detention, is used as the incident date.
No charges, trial or sentence beyond the preventive arrest were reported.
The man was not named in either report.
The Gazeta de Sud page is a video post; no direct video stream address could be recovered, so only its thumbnail still is listed.
Gorjeanul gives no weight, plant count, area or value for the cannabis, and no figure beyond the nine jars already recorded.
The man is not named, and no charges, trial or sentence beyond the preventive arrest are reported.
TV Sud gives no plant count, weight, area or value for the cannabis, and only repeats the nine glass jars of cannabis without a weight.
The Țânțăreni case is still described without a plant count, weight, area or value; the TVR Craiova account also gives no cannabis quantity for the nine jars.
The GorjOnline photo caption names the arrested man, which conflicts with the report's statement that he was not named in either report; the earlier accounts still did not name him.
The photo itself shows one unidentified man; its caption does not state whether he is the arrested man, an investigator or someone else pictured with the seized cannabis.
GorjOnline gives no figure for the number of plants, the weight of the cannabis in the jars, the area or the value of the crop.
