plants and 1 kilo210 grams of cannabis in the garden.[3]The provincial

Case data
Every number and detail the sources state, with the sources that state it.
The sources give no separate date for the raids; 30 July 2018 is the publication and governorate-bulletin date used as the incident date.
One outlet reports 210 grams of kubar esrar while the governorate bulletin and Haber7 report 1210 grams / 1 kilo 210 grams; the report uses the official 1210 grams (1.21 kg).
The two detentions are reported for the Havran and Gönen searches together, so responsibility cannot be separated between the cannabis garden and the synthetic-pill vehicle find.
No charges, court ruling or later outcome beyond detention and started proceedings were reported.
The same Haber7 page also describes separate 25-28 July police operations with 24 suspects and synthetic pills and bonzai; that is a different event left out here and excluded from cannabis figures.
