The operation, conducted by the Special Operations Team at about noon on Thursday, October 15, 2026, resulted in the arrest of 35 males and six females.
Officers also recovered large quantities of dried leaves suspected to be narcotic substances. The material is undergoing forensic testing to establish its composition.
