Quantities
The 83 plants are the total given by the ION News report, the cited source, across four finds in three localities: "Au total, 83 plantes ont été saisies" (in English: in total, 83 plants were seized). The report words the finds differently.
| Locality | Plants | Wording in the report |
|---|---|---|
| Montagne Cabris | 12 | "les policiers ont déraciné 12 plantes de cannabis" (in English: the police uprooted 12 cannabis plants) |
| Saponaire | 10 | "pour y détruire 10 autres plantes" (in English: to destroy 10 other plants there) |
| Saint-François | 8 and 53 | "huit plantes de 5 à 56 cm, puis 53 plantes supplémentaires de 5 à 50 cm" (in English: eight plants of 5 to 56 cm, then 53 more plants of 5 to 50 cm) |
This news item gives 83 plants as the report's total and attaches it to no single locality.
Map pin
The report says the officers carried out operations "à travers le pays" (in English: across the country) and names three localities, Montagne Cabris, Saponaire and Saint-François, with no district for any of them. This news item gives Mauritius as the country and no division, locality or map pin.

Change of category
ION News, the cited source, says the police "ont déraciné 12 plantes de cannabis" (in English: uprooted 12 cannabis plants) at Montagne Cabris and went to Saponaire "pour y détruire 10 autres plantes" (in English: to destroy 10 other plants there). This news item was first filed under Enforcement. Uprooted and destroyed growing plants are filed under Eradication, so the category is now Eradication. Éloise 04:07, 20 October 2026 (+07)
