The caravan was subject to customs procedures and was examined through a security process at the port, when the authorities found a large quantity of Captagon pills hidden in a technical way inside the cavity of the floor of the caravan trailer, adding that upon completion of the seizure.
The authority coordinated with the General Directorate of Narcotics Control to ensure the arrest of the recipients of the pills in the Kingdom, which resulted in the arrest of three persons.
