A police raid on a residence in Haifa uncovered more than a kilogram of drugs that were allegedly intended for trafficking and distribution on the streets of the city. A suspect, a 38-year-old resident of Haifa, was arrested for questioning at the Haifa station, after which he was imprisoned.
As part of the uncompromising fight waged by the Israel Police against the scourge of drugs, with an emphasis on trafficking that endangers public peace, police officers of the Haifa station from the Carmel area in the Coast district, together with Coast Guard fighters, carried out proactive activity in the city to detect and thwart these crimes.

Police investigation
As mentioned, a suspect, a 38-year-old resident of Haifa, was arrested for questioning at the Haifa station, and was eventually imprisoned. In accordance with the needs of the investigation and finding out, the police will ask to extend his detention at the court in Haifa. The drugs were seized and transferred to continue the extraction of evidence investigation in the forensic laboratories of the Israel Police.
Attorney Aviv Mizrahi, who represented the suspect, responded:
At the end of the detention extension hearing that took place in the suspect's case, Judge Boris Sherman of the Haifa Magistrate's Court decided that he would be released under the restrictive conditions of house arrest for 5 days. My client suffers from various health problems and uses cannabis for medical needs and self-consumption only. The amount actually seized is lower than the one published by the police.
