Open questions the AI reported
The reports describe the substance only as cannabis, without saying whether it was resin or herbal, so no product type is recorded.
Reports name the two arrested men only by age and say they are Israeli nationals; the Cypriot accounts give no nationalities in their police summaries.
The cannabis figure is 377 g in the flat as the police listed it; other local accounts reported an initial estimate of about 341 g in the flat plus 36 g found later in a rental car, the same 377 g in total.
