The account does not identify how many of the 116 arrested suspects were involved in cannabis cases.
The article's approximate 42 kg total combines multiple drugs and does not give a cannabis-specific split, so it is omitted from the cannabis figure.
The account does not clarify whether its 28.71-gram marijuana listing is separate from the three dated cannabis seizures; the calculated 5.10491 kg total treats the four quantities as separate.
No later court outcome is reported for the suspects.
Only the VOI account was found in accessible searches; no independently opened account or official statement was available.
The Chinese page is an automatically generated translation of the same VOI article, so it does not independently confirm the figures; no Indonesian-language original or police statement was opened.
The page does not say whether the 28.71-gram marijuana listing overlaps the three dated cannabis seizures, so the 5.10491 kg total treats the four quantities as separate.
The page does not state how many of the 116 suspects were held in cannabis cases, or give any court outcome.
