During a security follow-up of the drug smuggling and distribution networks targeting the Kingdom, officials seized 197,570 amphetamine tablets. They were in the possession of two Syrian residents and a Saudi national in Riyadh.

The operation was done in cooperation with the directorate’s counterpart agencies in Oman and the UAE, and in coordination with the Zakat, Tax and Customs Authority in the Kingdom.
