Dubai's law enforcement cracked down on a major drug trafficking operation, arresting 14 suspects and seizing over two tonnes of narcotics valued at more than Dh115 million, according to the latest report. The operation resulted in the confiscation of various substances, including crystal methamphetamine, Xanax, tramadol, Lyrica tablets, marijuana, and papers laced with illegal drugs.
The police seized a total of 2.3 tonnes of "pills and psychotropic substances," which suggests the group had plans for widespread distribution across the UAE. The case came to light after the General Department of Anti-Narcotics received intelligence about an organized crime network aiming to distribute substantial amounts of drugs.
Specialist teams conducted surveillance to identify the individuals involved and assess the scale of the operation. Police apprehended all 14 suspects, who were of Asian ethnicity, and impounded the seized drugs. The investigation revealed the suspects' connection to an organized crime ring based abroad. The police force emphasized its dedication to combating drug trafficking and dismantling criminal networks that jeopardize public safety.
