The arrests were made as part of the ministry’s ongoing efforts to combat drug-related crimes and apprehend those involved, according to a statement issued on Sunday. The operations resulted in the seizure of 410 grams of shabu, 175 pieces soaked in a chemical substance, 60 grams of hashish and sums of money suspected to be proceeds from drug trafficking.
The suspects, along with the seized items, were referred to the competent authorities for the necessary legal action.
In a separate security operation, the ministry announced the arrest of 112 individuals wanted in connection with absconding cases and 48 violators of residency laws, along with several other wanted persons and violators.
