During questioning, the man confessed that he was involved in promoting and distributing narcotics to customers. He was immediately referred to the General Department for Drug Control for further legal action.

A police patrol in Sulaibiya Block 2 spotted an American-made vehicle parked on the roadside with the driver seemingly asleep. When officers attempted to wake him, they discovered that he was in a deep stupor, slurring his speech, and completely unaware of his surroundings.

Both cases have been transferred to the General Department for Drug Control, which has launched investigations to determine the full extent of their activities and possible connections to wider criminal networks.
