At the end of the operation 1382 plants were seized with the majority being found at Woodland.
Inspector David Welch of the Royal Barbados Police Force, told Trakker News, the upsurge in the local cultivation of cannabis maybe due to the strong enforcement measures being taken against the importation of the drug via the sea.
