Saudi Arabia and the United Arab Emirates succeeded in busting a drug smuggling network.
Saudi Ministry of Interior security spokesman Brigadier General Talal bin Shalhoub said that cooperation with the UAE led to the foiling of an attempt to smuggle 267,300 amphetamine pills.
The operation was a success through proactive security monitoring of criminal networks engaged in drug smuggling, and information provided by the ministry, represented by the General Directorate of Narcotics Control, to the UAE’s National Anti-Narcotics Authority of the United Arab Emirates, he revealed.
He praised the ongoing cooperation with the UAE's authority in tracking and seizing narcotics, stressing that it reflects the level of security integration and coordination between the two countries in confronting cross-border criminal networks.
The Kingdom will continue to crack down on criminal activities that target its security and youth with narcotics, he vowed.
