Kuwaiti authorities have arrested a citizen who allegedly converted his home into an indoor marijuana-growing operation, according to the International Drug Control Department of Kuwait’s General Department for Narcotics Control. The operation led to the seizure of six kilograms of marijuana, approximately 250 grams of hashish, and over 17,000 Kuwaiti dinars in suspected drug proceeds.
An investigation into the house in Doha, Kuwait, revealed the premises were equipped for marijuana cultivation and production. After obtaining legal authorization and monitoring the suspect's movements, police conducted a raid and subsequently arrested him. A search of the home uncovered the marijuana, hashish, cultivation equipment, and seized 17,820 dinars in cash.
The drugs, cash, and equipment were confiscated, and the suspect was handed over to the relevant authorities for further legal proceedings. Kuwait's Ministry of Interior has repeatedly emphasized its intensified efforts to combat drug trafficking and distribution, including targeting cultivation and production inside residential properties.
