The Sûreté Départementale, the departmental police service, received information that an individual was producing and selling cannabis herb from a home in the Port Blanc area of Le Gosier.[1] Police described the individual implicated as very unfavourably known to their services.[1] At 10 a.m. on Tuesday 15 June 2021, officers from the narcotics brigade entered the Port Blanc residence with assistance from elite officers of the Raid.[1]

The search uncovered and led to the seizure of 141 cannabis plants that were being grown at the property.[2] The plants were cultivated in both “in door” and “out door” settings, meaning indoor and outdoor growing at the residence.[2] Officers also seized the indoor growing installations found on the premises.[2] They also found ammunition cartridges at the property, identified by their 9 mm and 7.65 mm calibres.[2]

The single person implicated in the case was due to be tried before the judicial court in Pointe-à-Pitre.[2]
