01/11/2024

KUWAIT CITY, Nov 1: In a significant breakthrough against drug smuggling networks, the Drugs Enforcement Authority, seized 85 kilograms of crystal meth, valued at approximately one million Kuwaiti dinars. The drugs were in the possession of an Asian national linked to an international network, who reportedly received instructions from abroad to distribute the substances within Kuwait.

This latest success underscores the Ministry of Interior's firm commitment to protecting society from drug-related harm and serves as a strong deterrent to anyone attempting to smuggle or distribute narcotics. Anti-narcotics teams have once again demonstrated their capability to dismantle criminal operations and disrupt illegal networks. The suspect and seized items have been handed over to the relevant authorities for all necessary legal actions.

The Ministry of Interior reaffirms its dedication to enforcing the law with unwavering resolve to safeguard national security. Additionally, the Ministry urges citizens and residents to support these efforts by reporting any suspicious activities through the emergency hotline at 112 or the General Department for Combating Narcotics at 1884141.
