Plant and area figures are police approximations of about 3,000 plants on about one hectare, not measured counts.
No estimate of the value of the plants or the seized cannabis was published.
No owner, caretaker or suspect was identified, and no investigation or court step was reported after the samples were sent to the Remanso police station.
The three outlets reproduce the same CIPE/Caatinga police statement, so the accounts are not independent; Preto no Branco credits Ascom CIPE/Caatinga.
No count was given for the seeds seized, and the processed cannabis weight is approximate.
This page gives no separate date for the action; 6 November is its publication date.
The page reproduces the same CIPE/Caatinga statement as the outlets already cited, so it is not an independent account.
The page's photo carries no credit line beyond its file name, and what it depicts cannot be confirmed from its caption; it was left out of the media list.
