A 24-year-old resident of Tirana was arrested during checks at the Port of Durrës, according to Korca Boom. Police searched him and a van entering Albania and found about 3,250 suspected cannabis seeds in bags, plus equipment believed to be for growing. The van was seized.
The arrest came during an operation called Prevention 2, run with border police and the narcotics investigation sector of the Durrës police. He was arrested in the act on a drug trafficking charge, and the case file was sent to the Durrës prosecutor's office. No court outcome is reported. The report identifies him only by initials.
Why it matters: The report describes seeds and growing equipment, not harvested cannabis, and the charge reported is trafficking.
