. . . suspect in police custody, admits to manufacturing drugs
The Ministry of Interior — under the direct supervision of First Deputy Prime Minister and Minister of Interior Sheikh Fahd Al-Yousef — busted an illegal narcotic manufacturing facility in Kabad.
The Al-Rai daily said personnel from the General Department of Drug Control (GDDC), have taken into custody a bedoun man, identified only as A.J.A. Sh. The suspect had reportedly rented a stable to store acetone and other harmful material from where he produced, stored and sold drugs.
During the raid, the security authorities seized 25 kilos of chemical ready for sale, 10 liters of base material, 15,000 Lyrica capsules, 250 grams of shabu, chemically saturated papers, and equipment used in production of drugs.
The lab also contained toxic chemicals such as concentrated pesticides, acetone, and lacquer — posing severe health risks, and could be potentially fatal.
The suspect and the seized materials have been referred to the competent authorities for legal action.
