The article gives no separate date for the arrests; 7 November 2026 is its publication date and is used as the incident date.
Only one accessible source for this event was found; the Gazeta Express account could not be opened and searches in English and Albanian found no second full report.
The 440 euros in cash is described as suspected proceeds of narcotics sales generally and cannot be separated into cannabis and cocaine proceeds, so no cash or value figure is recorded.
The 52.93 grams of suspected cocaine is mentioned as context but excluded from cannabis figures.
