Case data
Every number and detail the sources state, with the sources that state it.
The article gives Wednesday as the raid day and was published on Friday 6 November 2026, so 4 November 2026 is used as the incident date.
No number of cannabis plants and no cannabis weight was published, so no plant or kilogram figure is recorded.
No street value for the drugs was published.
The reports do not say in which of the searched flats the cannabis grow facility was found.
No charges beyond the arrest warrants and no court outcome beyond pretrial detention were reported.
All three outlets carry the identical dpa account of the police statement, so only one independent account exists.
The only published image is a labelled symbol photo, so no event photo is listed.
The submitted BNN page is paywalled so only its title and introductory summary could be read; the raid details are corroborated by the accessible dpa copies and the police-statement report.
The MSN page carries a preview image with no accessible caption tying it to this raid, so no event photo is listed.
The Südwest Presse article gives no day for the searches and no charge or court detail beyond the arrest warrants; the incident date 4 November 2026 comes from the earlier reporting of the same police statement.
The Südwest Presse summary names Landkreis Günzburg as the place where the grow, cocaine and weapons were found, but it does not say which flat held what.
The Südwest Presse account gives no day for the searches and no further court detail beyond the arrest warrants and pretrial detention, so it does not change the report's incident date or case stage.
Die Rheinpfalz repeats the same dpa account of the police statement that the report already cites, so it is not an additional independent account.
The Rheinpfalz article still gives no number of cannabis plants or cannabis weight.
