Emirati-Saudi cooperation foils an attempt to smuggle 267.3 thousand amphetamine tablets

The National Narcotics Control Agency, in coordination with the Dubai Police General Command, revealed the thwarting of an attempt to smuggle 267,300 amphetamine tablets.

In detail, joint security cooperation and coordination between the state security services and the Saudi Ministry of Interior, represented by the General Directorate of Narcotics Control, and based on the exchange of information between the two sides, resulted in the thwarting of the smuggling operation before it was promoted, and the fall of those involved in the criminal network in the smuggling attempt, all of whom were of the nationality of an Arab country.

In this context, the National Narcotics Control Agency stressed that preempting these criminal plans and thwarting attempts by drug smuggling networks reflects this advanced level of operational integration, field monitoring, close follow-up, joint coordination and information exchange with the relevant agencies regionally and internationally, in a way that strengthens the community protection system and consolidates joint efforts in confronting the methods of smuggling and promoting this scourge.

For its part, the General Directorate of Narcotics Control at the Saudi Ministry of Interior affirmed the keenness of the competent security services in the Kingdom to continuously coordinate with sister countries, in following up and monitoring criminal activities that target communities and their youth by promoting these poisons, pointing out that this operation, which resulted in the seizure of this quantity of narcotic “amphetamine” tablets, comes within the ongoing cooperation with the UAE in confronting the drug threat and strengthening the prevention and control system.
