Bermuda police were alerted to a cannabis grow site in the St George’s area on 12 January 2024 and found additional cultivation sites from there.[1] Police seized 138 “mature” cannabis plants in the raids.[2] The Royal Gazette reported that officers found a cannabis farm in St George’s and tracked down further sites where the drug was being cultivated.[2]

The Bermuda Police Service said the plants that had been seized so far numbered 138 and that its investigation into the cultivation plots was continuing.[1] The report names no arrests and gives no weight or street value for the plants.[2]

Cultivation of cannabis is prohibited under Bermuda’s Misuse of Drugs Act.[2] Police asked anyone with information about cannabis growing or drug supply to call the main police number, 295-0011, contact an officer they know or use the community reporting portal.[2] The Royal Gazette said the raid came five months after another large drug farm was found in St David’s, where an operation on 13 August yielded 103 fully grown cannabis plants.[2]
