Anti-drug operations in Mauritius

Overview

Mauritian security forces, including the Anti-Drug and Smuggling Unit (ADSU), the Special Mobile Force (SMF), and the Special Support Unit (SSU), conducted high-visibility operations in Abercrombie on September 30 and October 1. These interventions targeted local trafficking activities through continuous patrols using vans and motorcycles. While the presence of security forces disrupted dealer activity, officers reported being monitored by local lookouts near the Abercrombie District Headquarters.

Following these efforts, an anti-drug unit conducted an operation at Résidences Kennedy in Quatre-Bornes. This resulted in the arrest of a 32-year-old police constable, who had previously been suspended from duty, along with two other men. Authorities seized 691.3 grams of cannabis, valued at over 1 million rupees. The suspects face provisional charges of drug possession and trafficking.
