The media spokesperson for the Public Security Directorate said that the Drug Control Department’s continuous efforts to pursue drug dealers and promoters are continuing in all regions and at all levels.

He stressed that special efforts are being made to pursue death dealers who possess and promote the narcotic and deadly crystal, as two specific cases were dealt with during the past few days, during which importers and dealers of this dangerous substance that threatens its users were arrested for the first time.

In the first case; A special investigative team from the Drug Enforcement Administration followed up information received about a person in the Ramtha Brigade importing a large amount of crystal narcotic and selling and promoting it.

After verifying and collecting information, he was raided. Immediately upon seeing the force, he tried to flee, but he was pursued, controlled and arrested. 4 kg of crystal narcotic and another quantity of various narcotic substances were found in his possession, and he was referred to the State Security Court Prosecutor.

In the second case; A narcotic dealer was arrested in the Ramtha District after collecting and verifying information about his criminal activities. 2 kg of narcotic crystal, 3,000 narcotic pills and a firearm were found in his possession. He was also referred to the State Security Court’s public prosecutor.

The Drug Enforcement Administration warns of the danger of crystal (Shabwa) and its deadly effect on its users, which may cause death or addiction to them from trying it once.
