The marijuana weight is stated as more than half a kilogram, not an exact measured figure, and 0.5 kg is recorded as the stated amount.
The village within Wieliczka municipality where the car was stopped is not named.
The mefedron amounts (nearly half a kilogram in the car and about 20 grams in the room) are excluded from the cannabis figures because mefedron is a synthetic psychoactive substance.
The combined total of more than a kilogram of illicit substances cannot be separated into cannabis and other substances.
The room searched is described only as the accommodation of a man from Limanowa County, so no more precise location is recorded.
No preventive measure such as remand, and no court date or outcome, was reported.
Both accounts reproduce the same Wieliczka police statement, so the case rests on a single police source.
