Case data
Every number and detail the sources state, with the sources that state it.
No weight was published for the marijuana or the cocaine, so no cannabis quantity is figured.
The marijuana and cocaine were reported only as part of a combined seizure that cannot be separated into a cannabis-only amount.
The sources give only the relative timing of the night from Saturday to Sunday plus 2 November publication dates; 1 November 2026 is inferred as the Sunday date.
No identities, charges or court outcomes were reported for the four arrested people.
