Only the Luxembourg Times gives 16 June 2016 as the day of the arrests; Le Quotidien dates the arrests to 9 and 10 June, and its page was published on 16 June saying the seizure happened a few days earlier.
No full names, ages or nationalities of the two men were published, and no charges, custody ruling or court outcome was reported.
An RTL Luxembourgish report on the same arrest appeared only as a search listing and could not be opened, so it is not cited.
No street value for the marijuana was published, and the 500 euros in cash is money seized, not a drug valuation.
Police in Schengen were called about a man handling what looked like a weapon in a car, then found him at home with a CO2 airsoft revolver and accessories, which they seized. He tested positive for both alcohol and cannabis, and officers withdrew his licence, issued a provisional driving ban and opened records for the drug-driving, drink-driving and weapons offences.
