Israeli police uncovered two separate drug laboratories in the Kiryat area, seizing an estimated 151 kg of cannabis and 528 cannabis seedlings, according to a report by Asaf Rozentzweig (N12). Six suspects were arrested on suspicion of operating the labs.
A police operation in the Kiryat area — the cluster of cities north of Haifa — uncovered two separate drug laboratories on Wednesday morning, according to a report by Asaf Rozentzweig (N12). Officers seized approximately 151 kilograms of cannabis and 528 cannabis seedlings. Six suspects were arrested in connection with the labs. The police did not immediately confirm the location of the labs within the Kiryat area, the possible street value of the seizures, or whether the suspects were locals. The Zioneer has tracked several police drug busts this month: a raid in Holon on June 10 seized 2.7 kg of cannabis and cash; in Arad, commercial quantities of narcotics were seized on June 11; and in the Jerusalem area, an undercover probe yielded crystal meth and NIS 66,000. Today's seizure is the largest by volume in recent weeks, though it is not yet clear whether the labs are linked to a broader distribution network.
