Dating

Newswire published the article on 28 October 2026. The parcels were found "over the past few months", so no date of seizure can be given. The stored date is the publication date.

Route

The article does not say which of the nine parcels held the cannabis or the hashish, so no origin is recorded for them. The countries listed are those of the nine parcels together.

Quantities

The value (Rs. 49.34 million for the Kush cannabis and Rs. 10.35 million for the hashish) is an estimate and is not stored.

Place

The article places the exchange in Colombo and names no district. The Colombo District is the district of that city.
