KUWAIT: The Kuwaiti Ministry of Interior announced on Wednesday the seizure of approximately 200 kg of meth and vitamin, valued at over KD 1.5 million (about USD 4.8 million), from an Asian suspect.

This operation was part of efforts led by First Deputy Prime Minister Sheikh Fahad Yousef Saud Al-Sabah to combat drug trafficking.

The General Department of Narcotics Control acted on precise information, leading to the arrest of the suspect in Al-Raqqa, where the drugs were hidden. Investigations revealed that the suspect had rented vehicles for distribution and storage, receiving instructions from abroad.

This confiscation is among the largest in Kuwait, and the Ministry is committed to continuing its campaigns against narcotics trafficking to protect society. -KUNA
