Open questions the AI reported
Only the cannabis component of the five-arrest roundup is recorded here; the drink-driving, breath-test refusal and 33-tablet arrests are separate matters left out.
The 33 tablets are described only as narcotic tablets under drug law; no cannabis was reported in that case, so the tablets are not counted as cannabis.
The 1.3 grams and 0.7 grams are police field figures for material described as unprocessed cannabis and a cannabis cigarette, with no laboratory confirmation reported.
No names beyond ages and nationality status, no formal charges or court outcome were reported; the case files were to be sent to the prosecutors.
Both accounts reproduce the same General Regional Police Directorate of Western Macedonia statement and are not independent reporting.
The roundup joins arrests from Kozani, Florina, Ptolemaida and Kastoria; the coordinates mark Kozani as the district centre and the precision is regional.
