No court, charge details or outcome for the three charged men was reported, and police said only that investigations were continuing.
The two arrested people are not identified, and the release does not say whether they were among the three men charged.
Only the Newsday account of the TTPS release was found; no separate police statement or second outlet could be opened.
The Maloney CID and Northern Division Task Force searches that recovered two pistols are a separate, non-cannabis event and are left out of the report except where the source links them to the same day's release.
