No separate weight was published for the marijuana flower, the hashish or the seized cannabis as a whole; the reported figure of more than two kilos covers all the drugs together, so no cannabis kilogram figure is recorded.
Crack and cocaine were seized in the same house and the R$10,000 estimate covers all the drugs; both are excluded from cannabis figures and no cannabis-only value was published.
The accounts describe the seizure as maconha and haxixe without reporting laboratory confirmation.
The suspects who used the house were not identified and no arrest or charge was reported; the Civil Police investigation was continuing.
The photo used by Fala Matão and Portal Morada appears to be the same handout image as the lead photo on the Tribuna page, credited to Canal Um FM, so it is listed once.
Every account traces back to the radio station Canal Um FM and subtenente Durval; no Military Police statement or incident report could be opened.
