Dating
The article says the offences were "committed on October 13, 2026" and that the woman appeared in court "today" and pleaded guilty. The article was published on 14 October 2026, and the stored date is that of the plea and the fine.
Quantities
The article gives the weight as "3.3 kilogrammes" and the value as "an estimated street value of BDS $52,800". It does not name who estimated the value, and the value is not stored as a quantity.
Category
A plea and a fine are a court outcome, so this news item is filed as Policy and dated to the hearing. The same article could be filed as Enforcement, as it reports the police charge.
Map pin
The article names no port, airport or parish. Barbados is a single country-wide jurisdiction, and the importation charge does not say where the cannabis arrived, so no pin is placed.
