The articles give no separate date for the patrols; 3 November 2026 is the publication date and is used as the incident date.
No number of bags, weight or value was given for the suspected marijuana, so no cannabis quantity can be recorded.
No charges, court appearances or custody decisions were reported; the four were only placed at the disposal of the Fiscalía General del Estado.
Only one of the four detentions concerned suspected marijuana; the other three concerned suspected methamphetamine and are mentioned only to explain the roundup.
El Congresista credits San Luis Hoy as its source, so the two sources are not fully independent.
The San Luis Hoy page carries a patrol photo without a caption or credit tying it to this detention, so it is not listed as media.
