Case data
Every number and detail the sources state, with the sources that state it.
No weight was published for the dry leaf matter found on the 22-year-old, so only the 25-year-old's 6 grams are recorded.
The 6 grams is the only stated weight, and sources do not say whether it is the total cannabis seized in the operation.
The men's full names were not published, only their ages.
No charge, custody decision or court outcome beyond the opened pre-trial proceedings was reported.
The same source reports unrelated weekend incidents, including chimney fires and a driver who tested positive for cannabis at Chernoochene, which are different events left out here.
All accounts repeat the same Kardzhali police statement; no independent account could be opened.
Left out, as its quotation was not found in Ministry of Interior, Kardzhali Directorate: The Interior Ministry's Kardzhali directorate bulletin lists the two detentions among its weekend reports.
The Haskovo.Net account repeats the same Kardzhali police statement as the earlier sources and gives no weight for the 22-year-old's cannabis.
