The reports give the raid only as having happened the day before their 5 November 2026 publication, so 4 November 2026 is an inferred date.
No charges, custody ruling or court outcome were reported beyond the stated referral to the judicial authorities.
No separate breakdown of how much of the 13.2 kg was seized as prepared esrar and how much came from the 450 plants was published.
