Leuven police dismantles 3 large cannabis plantations: 6 suspects arrested and 17,000 euros found

The Leuven police dismantled three cannabis plantations in the regions of Leuven, Halle-Vilvoorde, and Brussels, seizing over 2,000 plants, nearly 55 kilograms of harvested drugs, and €17,000 in cash. Six Albanian men were arrested as part of an investigation into a professionally organized gang cultivating cannabis. The operation led to five searches in Etterbeek, Evere, Leuven, Overijse, and Tervuren, uncovering two active plantations. Authorities urge the public to report any suspicious activities related to drug cultivation.
