The reports give no quantities for the cannabis, the cocaine or the money seized, so no weight, value or cash figure is recorded.
The cannabis is described only as Indian hemp narcotic; it is not stated whether it was resin an herb, so the product is recorded as flower and as unqualified other.
The knife count is not given.
Neither account names any charge beyond the suspicion of drug trafficking, and no trial or sentence is reported.
Kapitalis says the raid was carried out by the research and investigation brigade; the National Guard statement names the brigade, the rapid-intervention squad and the intervention unit, and adds the cutting tools.
The National Guard's Facebook post is not dated on its face and the page dates it only as about five years ago; 7 May 2022 is taken from Kapitalis's report of the statement published on Saturday 7 May.
No caption or credit explains what the photograph published by Kapitalis shows.
The Radio RM FM photograph is not captioned beyond the article title and is identified as a handout only by its file name matching the image on the National Guard post.
