Dubai police have made a significant arrest and seizure in the fight against drug trafficking. Over two tonnes of narcotics with an estimated street value of over Dh115 million ($31.3 million) were confiscated. The haul included crystal methamphetamine, Xanax, tramadol and Lyrica tablets, marijuana, and papers laced with illegal substances. The operation targeted a wide range of "pills and psychotropic substances," suggesting the group had plans to distribute the drugs broadly across the UAE.
The case emerged following intelligence received by the General Department of Anti-Narcotics about an organized criminal network preparing for a large-scale drug distribution. Specialized teams conducted surveillance to identify the individuals involved and assess the scope of the operation. Police apprehended 14 suspects, all of Asian descent, and seized the drugs. Investigations linked the suspects to an organized crime ring based abroad.
The police emphasized that the operation reaffirms their commitment to combating drug trafficking and dismantling criminal networks that threaten public safety.
