KUWAIT CITY, Jun 7: As part of its ongoing efforts to combat drug trafficking and protect society, Kuwait’s Ministry of Interior announced that the General Department for Drug Control has arrested three Kuwaiti citizens in possession of large quantities of narcotics and psychotropic substances intended for both trafficking and personal use.
According to the ministry, the arrests were made following intensive investigations and field surveillance operations that led officers to the suspects and enabled the seizure of 1.5 kilograms of cocaine, 700 grams of hashish, 5,000 psychotropic capsules, along with an electronic weighing scale used for packaging and distribution.
