Field eradication
Honduran Armed Forces and agents from the Directorate for the Fight Against Drug Trafficking (DLCN) located and eradicated a crop of suspected cannabis in the village of Güiscoyol, Gualaco, Olancho.[1][2] El País and HCH both reported that authorities counted 2,957 plants across about half a manzana of land, or approximately 0.35 hectares; HCH said the plants stood 1.5 to 2 metres high.[1][2] HCH described the site as mountainous.[2]
Operation
El País said the operation involved the 115th Infantry Brigade, 16th Infantry Battalion and the Armed Forces’ Institutional Support Operations Command, working with the DLCN.[1] The plants were eradicated with the Public Ministry, and HCH reported that DLCN agents burned the crop.[1][2] Both reports described the plants as suspected marijuana, and neither named a grower or reported an arrest.[1][2] Neither report gives a weight, value or separate count for seedlings.[1][2]
