Case data
Every number and detail the sources state, with the sources that state it.
The search took place on Wednesday 4 November 2026; the reports do not give a time of day for it.
The cannabis is described only as more than 2.5 pounds, so the recorded 1.13 kg is an approximate conversion.
The cannabis weight is given as a single figure; no split between products or packaging is published.
No source gives the street value of the cannabis or of any other seized item.
The psilocybin gummies and more than 25 grams of methamphetamine are not cannabis and are excluded from the cannabis figures.
No charges were reported over the psilocybin gummies, the cannabis or the child-endangerment allegations at the time of publication.
Police did not say whether any child ate the gummies or became ill, and no injuries were reported.
The address is given only as the 2100 block of Sunset Cliffs Boulevard, so the coordinates are for that block rather than a specific house.
Only a Shutterstock stock image and generic crime-scene photos accompanied the articles, so no photo of this event is linked.
No source reports what happened to the arrested men after booking.
