Spanish term or phrase: No constándole los hechos.

I'm translating an investigation report of employees at store who were caught selling drugs at work. Below is the whole paragraph:

Días después Maria, quien es la asistente de gerencia comento a la líder de RH Beatriz y a mí, que escucho que Jose y Juan, que son del área de panadería venden y compran droga, y que incluso Juan es quien maneja una tanda de droga, no constándole los hechos.

So, two questions:
1. una tanda de droga: does it mean "He's the one who handles a drug shipment" ??
2. No constandole los hechos: it's a tricky one... maybe as simple as "knowing the facts" but not sure.

Any help on both would be greatly appreciated!

but that she cannot confirm this

Explanation:
I.e., it's a rumour/hearsay.
Basically, they are saying that María has been told this, but she can't speak to the truth of this rumour or has no direct knowledge of the circumstances.

Thanks for your quick response. Even though I still needed confirmation on "tanda de drogas" that one I kinda figured and this one was more important, so I'll give you the points... thanks to the others who sent a complete response later!
