Police raided a house in Somme-Leuze, in Namur Province, on Thursday 11 June 2026 and found a cannabis plantation.[1] Condroz-Famenne’s local police carried out the operation with the specialised support unit of the Châtelet police zone.[2] In the cellars, officers arrested two men who were processing a harvest already under way.[1] One was a 24-year-old Albanian national and the other a 40-year-old Kosovo national.[1] That afternoon, Famenne-Ardenne police arrested the owner of the house, a Belgian man in his sixties, in Luxembourg Province.[1] An investigating judge remanded all three suspects in pre-trial detention.[1]

Some of the plants were young shoots kept to start a new production.[1] Officers also made a judicial seizure of fake weapons and a vehicle.[1]

The grow had electrical installations, ventilation, temperature control and the latest generation of lighting.[2] The federal judicial police laboratory and a magistrate came to the site for the usual samples.[1] Ores, the electricity grid operator, secured the site after illegal power hook-ups, reinforced with cabinets and transformers, put the network at risk.[1] The civil protection service of Crisnée brought its expertise to dismantle and neutralise the plantation.[1]

Condroz-Famenne police said the case is the third cannabis plantation dismantled on its territory in three years.[2] The investigation is continuing.[1]
