The hashish was reported only as four pieces (buchas), so no weight is recorded for it and the 295 g figure covers the two marijuana lots alone.
No suspects were arrested, named or charged in the opened accounts, and no court outcome is reported.
Only the incident date of 3 November 2026 is given; the sources set the recording at about 3.30pm but give no earlier time for the approach to the building.
Se Ligue Bahia and Camaçari Notícias give the seized cash only as money in species, while iPolítica lists R$6.50 in coins, so the cash is not recorded as a figure and no drug valuation was published.
The Bahia Public Security Secretariat and Military Police statements of this event could not be opened; the accounts used repeat the police version.
Left out, as its quotation was not found in Camaçari Notícias: Camaçari Notícias said the drone was probably used to monitor the area, and reported that the gang's storage point was dismantled.
Left out, as its quotation was not found in iPolítica: The same account lists two gold and silver chains and R$6.50 in coins among the items seized.
