KUWAIT CITY, Aug 11: As part of an unrelenting commitment to bolster national security, the criminal security sector has amplified its search and investigative operations to combat the smuggling of narcotics into the country. This resolute stance aims to shield the populace from the perilous impact of such substances.

In a significant achievement, the General Administration for Drug Control successfully executed a preemptive maneuver that foiled a smuggling endeavor involving a staggering 250,000 quarter-million Captagon tablets. A vigilant individual sought to infiltrate the country through a land entry point, ingeniously concealing the contraband within various hidden compartments within his vehicle.

The apprehended suspect, along with the confiscated consignment, is currently undergoing due process as they are handed over to the appropriate authorities. Necessary legal actions will be taken against the individual in question.

Underlining their dedication, the General Administration of Security Relations and Media underscores the unwavering pursuit of preemptive strikes against drug peddlers and smugglers. A steadfast commitment to safeguarding the nation's youth remains paramount, and stringent actions are taken against any threat posed to them.

The administration earnestly urges the public's collaboration with security personnel and encourages reporting of any suspicious activities to the emergency hotline (112) or the dedicated General Administration for Drug Control hotline (1884141). This collective effort plays a vital role in fortifying the nation's security against the adverse effects of illicit substances.
