Saudi authorities foil drug smuggling attempt at Jeddah Port

Saudi authorities seized more than 4.3 million amphetamine tablets hidden inside an apple consignment at Jeddah Islamic Port on Monday.

Capt. Mohammed bin Khaled Al-Najidi, spokesman for the General Directorate of Narcotics Control, said that the plot to smuggle a large amount of amphetamine pills into the country had been uncovered during a follow-up security check on criminal networks.

A Saudi man was arrested in connection with the foiled plot and the case referred to the Public Prosecution, Al-Najidi said.
