Officers of the Criminal Investigation Division (CID) of Brisée-Verdière carried out a combing operation on wasteland at Saint-Julien on Monday 2 November 2026 after receiving intelligence information.[1] The team was directed by Sergeant Badorally during the intelligence-led sweep of the disused ground.[1] After discovering cannabis plants there, the investigators placed the site under surveillance in the hope of intercepting a possible suspect.[1] No one came to the site while officers were watching it, so no suspect was intercepted.[1]

The sweep found 77 cannabis plants growing on the wasteland at Saint-Julien.[1] The plants measured between 17 and 37 centimetres in height.[1] Police estimated the value of the 77 plants at Rs 375,000.[1] With no one having presented themselves, officers uprooted and seized all of the plants.[1]

The inquiry was continuing afterwards in order to identify the people involved in growing the plants.[1] No arrests had been made by the time the plants were removed, and the grower remained unidentified.[1]
