The marijuana weight was reported only as more than ten kilograms and the hashish as just under 100 grams, so 10.1 kilograms is recorded as the stated combined cannabis amount and should be read as approximate.
The tiny amounts of amphetamine and cocaine were not quantified and are excluded from the cannabis figure; no combined drug total is counted as cannabis.
No street value for the seized drugs was published.
No formal charge or trial outcome was reported; the man is held on a pre-trial arrest warrant while the investigation continues.
The blank-firing gun was reported without details on whether it was loaded or how it relates to the armed-trafficking suspicion beyond the seizure.
Both accounts repeat the police and prosecutor's version; no independent account or statement from the suspect was published.
