The articles give no separate date for the arrest, street check or flat search; 5 November 2026 is their publication date and is used as the incident date.
The 118 grams is described only as a substance suspected to be marijuana, and no laboratory confirmation was reported.
No street, neighbourhood or police station where the check took place was named, so the report is placed at Niš as a whole.
The amount of suspected cocaine is not given, so it is recorded only as a small amount and excluded from cannabis figures.
The tablets are counted as 17 found in the street check plus eight found in the flat; a Rešetka headline gives 25, and the report uses the body text.
The cash is listed as about 93,000 dinars and 150 euros but police gave no cannabis-only value, so no value is recorded.
The suspect is identified only by her initials, M. J., and year of birth 2005; her age is given as 21 by three outlets and her year of birth by two others.
No charge, plea or court outcome was reported.
All four outlets repeat the Interior Ministry statement rather than adding independent reporting.
Glas Juga published this account on 6 November 2026, a day after the outlets already cited for the arrest, and gives no separate date for the street check or flat search.
