Saudi authorities have thwarted attempts to smuggle over 3.5 million narcotic pills and 2.8 tons of hashish and khat in multiple regions.
Saudi authorities have made significant drug seizures in Jeddah, Jazan, and Tabuk regions, according to the General Directorate of Narcotics Control. In Jeddah, four Yemeni residents were arrested for distributing hashish and prescription-only pills, while in Jazan, a Saudi citizen was apprehended for smuggling amphetamines and hashish.
Another Saudi individual in Tabuk was detained for distributing amphetamine tablets. The General Directorate seized 89 kilograms of hashish, 10,000 amphetamine tablets, and other controlled medications across these three locations.
