The article gives no separate date for the detention; 2 November 2026 is its publication date and is used as the incident date.
The hashish weight is reported as approximate, about 300 grams, so 0.3 kg is an approximate recorded figure.
About half a kilogram of clephedrone and alpha-PVP was reported alongside the hashish and is excluded from cannabis figures as non-cannabis substances.
Seven additional packets recovered from retail stash locations were not broken down by substance, so they cannot be counted as cannabis.
The combined figure of about 800 grams of plant-origin and synthetic drugs in the page metadata covers cannabis and non-cannabis together and is not used as a cannabis figure.
The Rambler page is a reprint of the same MVD Media agency text, so only one independent account was available.
