The outlet described four suspects aged 18-24 sitting on the curb, while the police statement refers to a single suspect arrested; the total number formally arrested beyond the one confirmed arrest is unclear.
No weight for the seized edibles was published, only an estimated value of over $15,000, so no cannabis quantity in kilograms can be recorded.
No names, exact ages, or court outcome for the arrested person were reported.
Only one accessible source for this event was found after searching, so no second account confirms the details.
Left out, as its quotation was not found in The South Pasadenan: Police noted that unless a license is issued by the California Bureau of Marijuana Control, it remains illegal to transport marijuana products with intent to sell.
