BREAKING: Mauritius’ ADSU Seizes Rs 75 Million Worth of Heroin in Terre-Rouge Raid, Suspected Trafficker Arrested
In a major anti-narcotics operation, the Anti-Drug and Smuggling Unit (ADSU) of Mauritius seized 4.8 kilograms of heroin valued at approximately Rs 75 million on Wednesday, June 18, 2025. The bust took place during a targeted search at a residence in Le Hochet, Terre-Rouge.
The operation led to the arrest of a 44-year-old Jina Brigida Prosper, who is now in custody as investigations continue into her alleged involvement in drug trafficking.
In addition to the drugs, ADSU officers also confiscated a sum of Rs 307,600, believed to be proceeds from illicit drug activities.
The successful raid was carried out by officers under the command of Inspector Conhyedoss and was supervised by Superintendent of Police Azmee Rohomutally from the ADSU unit in Port Louis.
Authorities have reiterated their commitment to cracking down on drug networks across the island, with more coordinated operations expected in the coming weeks.
