Police in Willemstad dismantled a marijuana plantation in the Barbuquet neighborhood during the afternoon of 24 May 2020, the day before the local report published on 25 May 2020 described the operation.[1] No one was arrested during the police operation because no one was present at the plantation location when the officers arrived to carry out the raid.[1] The police nevertheless said that they expected to be able to make arrests in connection with the dismantled plantation later during that same week.[1]

The police raid on the Barbuquet plantation site happened after officers received a tip that directed them to the location.[1] During the dismantling operation the officers seized a large number of marijuana plants found at the plantation together with tools found at the same site.[1]

During the same raid the police also discovered that water and electricity at the plantation site were being tapped illegally.[1] The plantation no longer remained in operation after the police dismantled it.[1]
