The Anti-Narcotics Department (AND) arrested a drug dealer and promoter and seized narcotics in his possession, in a security raid.
In a statement on Sunday, the Public Security Directorate (PSD)’s media spokesperson said the AND agents tracked tips about a person suspected of trafficking and promoting narcotic substances.
All investigations confirmed the suspect’s involvement and possession of a “large” amount of narcotic substances. Then, the AND set up a plan to raid his place and seize the prohibited possessions, the spokesperson added.
The suspect was raided in a northern Badia region, and was arrested after “fierce” resistance. 42 palm-sized hashish sheets and 12,000 Captagon pills were seized, the official announced.
On the PSD’s anti-drug policy, the spokesperson said its AND is continuing its security campaigns against drug dealers and promoters and harnesses all its intelligence, operational and logistical capabilities in this regard.
