As a result of controls throughout the territory and the intensification of operational work, with the objectives of preventing, identifying and cracking down on cases of cultivation of narcotic plants, in open and closed environments, the services of the Mallakastër Police Commissariat finalized the operation codenamed "Burimi", during which citizen KL, 41 years old, resident of the village of Cfir, was arrested.

The 41-year-old is suspected of cultivating 80 Cannabis Sativa narcotic plants on a piece of state land, near the land he owns in the village where he lives.
The majority of the narcotic plants were destroyed by burning, while a small portion was seized as material evidence.

Controls against this criminal activity continue.

The procedural materials were referred to the Prosecutor's Office for further action.
