The Ministry of Interior has announced the arrest of four people in two separate incidents for possessing large quantities of narcotics and psychotropic substances, with an estimated street value of approximately 1.15 million dinars.
In the first case, the plainclothesmen busted a drug trafficking network operating in the suburbs of Saad Al-Abdullah, Abdullah Al-Mubarak, and Hawally, involving three people — two of whom are believed to be Interior Ministry men and a bedoun allegedly a resident of an unidentified European country.
The CID men have seized from the trio 25 kilograms of marijuana, 100 Lyrica pills, 2 grams of shabu, and 100 grams of hashish, with a combined estimated street value of 150,000 dinars.
The second case involved a Gulf national who was caught smuggling psychotropic substances into Kuwait. The authorities seized an estimated 500,000 Captagon pills, intended for trafficking, with a market value of around one million dinars.
The Directorate-General of Drugs Control affirmed its ongoing surveillance of all activities related to drug trafficking and smuggling and reiterated its commitment to taking strict legal action against those involved to protect the society from the dangers of narcotics and psychotropic substances.
