The reports give no separate date for the checkpoint or the arrests; 17 April 2025 is their publication date, during Holy Week, and is used as the incident date.
The substance is described as hachís, pressed cannabis resin, with no laboratory confirmation reported; the cocaine is mentioned only for context and is not counted in the cannabis figures.
No ages, names or home towns were published for the three detainees.
The court ordered prison for two of the three detainees, but which of them, the charges filed and any eventual sentence are not reported.
The reports do not say whether the hashish was for sale on its own or alongside the cocaine, nor give a street-value estimate.
Córdoba Hoy, ABC and El Quincenal de Los Pedroches reproduce the same Guardia Civil press release, so they are not independent accounts of the arrests.
Only one handout photo of the seized drugs was published, and only the Córdoba Hoy copy's direct image address could be confirmed.
