The headline says 1.27 kg of ganja was recovered, but the body itemises 1.15 kg and 1.12 kg, totalling 2.27 kg; the report uses the itemised body figures.
The body also describes the total as about two and a half kilos, an approximation that differs from the 2.27 kg sum of the two itemised amounts.
No separate date for the two seizures was given; 14 November 2026 is the article's publication date and is used as the incident date.
No value estimate, laboratory confirmation, case sections, or court outcome beyond further legal proceedings was reported.
Whether the about-17-year-old was counted as arrested or only taken into protection is unclear; both detentions are counted as arrested.
