24/10/2025

KUWAIT CITY, Oct 24: In a dramatic late-night raid, Kuwait’s security forces uncovered a fully equipped marijuana farm hidden inside a residential house in Sabah Al-Salem, exposing an stateless (Bedoun) elaborate operation to cultivate and distribute narcotic substances.

The bust was carried out by the General Department for Drug Control (GDDC) under the Criminal Security Sector of the Ministry of Interior, following days of meticulous surveillance and investigation. The operation was part of the ministry’s ongoing nationwide campaign to eradicate the drug menace and dismantle trafficking networks threatening the safety of society.

According to security sources, detectives had been monitoring unusual movements and suspicious activity around the property, raising concerns about possible drug-related operations. After confirming the presence of narcotics cultivation, officers obtained the necessary legal permissions and executed a precisely coordinated raid on the premises.

Inside the seemingly ordinary home, investigators were stunned to find a sophisticated indoor marijuana farm, complete with specialized lighting systems, ventilation units, and temperature control equipment designed to accelerate plant growth.

The raid resulted in the seizure of:
27 marijuana seedlings under cultivation,
1 kilogram of processed marijuana ready for sale,
50 grams of marijuana seeds, and
2 electronic scales used for weighing and packaging the drugs.

Authorities revealed that the suspect was cultivating the plants both for personal use and illegal trade, taking advantage of the controlled environment to maintain a steady supply. He was immediately taken into custody and referred to the competent judicial authorities for further legal action.

The Ministry of Interior reaffirmed its zero-tolerance policy toward drug crimes, vowing to continue its relentless pursuit of traffickers and those attempting to endanger public safety. Officials also urged citizens and residents to report any suspicious activity through official channels to help safeguard Kuwait’s communities.
