In Navosa’s Malua range, police have confiscated over 2,000 plants suspected to be marijuana following two significant raids. Officers from the Western Division Serious Organised Crime Intelligence Department were dispatched to the area after receiving intelligence regarding the possible cultivation of illicit plants.

ACP Driu noted that several recent arrests have been made, with suspects being charged and brought to court.

The first farm yielded over 1,800 plants, while a second location had more than 900 plants ranging from 10 cm to 2.5 meters tall, all believed to be marijuana.

This proactive law enforcement approach not only aims to combat illegal drug activities but also underscores the community’s role in reporting suspicious activities. Such actions foster a safer environment for all and demonstrate a commitment to tackling drug-related issues effectively.

Overall, this event reflects the ongoing efforts to address and reduce illegal drug trade, highlighting the positive impact of community engagement and law enforcement collaboration.
