Gendarmes find 8-plant cannabis crop at Le Moule; 3 kg seized, one held
Gendarmes of Le Moule's DSI surveillance unit detained a suspect in a firearms-threats case and, searching his home for the weapon, found 8 flowering cannabis plants and about 460 grams of dried buds. After the plants were pulled up and weighed, the gendarmerie counted more than 3 kg of cannabis; the investigation continued into whether the suspect sold his crop.
Gendarmes of the Détachement de surveillance et d’intervention (DSI) of Le
Moule, a gendarmerie surveillance and intervention unit, detained a suspect
during a call-out over threats made with a firearm.[1]Searching his home for
the weapon, the officers found a cannabis plantation in full production.[1]
France-Antilles gave the dried part as 460 grams in its text, while the caption
of its first photo stated 420 grams.[1]After the plants were pulled up and
weighed, the gendarmerie put the total seizure at more than 3 kg of cannabis.[1]
Investigators were trying to establish the extent of the suspect’s illicit
activity, including whether he was selling his production or growing for his own
use.[1]RCI reported that the inquiry was continuing to determine whether the
suspect was involved in other offences.[2]The gendarmerie said the case
showed its vigilance against drug trafficking in Guadeloupe and that
cultivating, holding and selling drugs are strictly banned and systematically
prosecuted.[1]

Neither account gives a separate date for the operation; 26 May 2025 is the publication date of both and is used as the incident date.
France-Antilles' text gives 460 grams of dried flowers, while the caption of its first photo says 420 grams; the report uses 460 grams from the text.
No charge, police-custody ruling or court outcome was reported; the gendarmerie inquiry was continuing.
The suspect was not named and no age was published.
The article does not say whether the weapon that prompted the intervention was found.
