Makkah highway patrol seizes 2kg of hashish, 391 amphetamine pills

The Special Forces for Road Security in the Makkah region seized 2 kilograms of hashish and 391 amphetamine pills, in addition to other prescription-only medication, after discovering the substances hidden inside a vehicle driven by one of two men stopped by the patrol.

The Special Forces said the two detainees were a Saudi citizen and an Ethiopian national in violation of border security regulations. The operation thwarted the distribution of the seized drugs. Both suspects were arrested and legal procedures were taken before referring them to the relevant authorities.

The confiscated items included narcotics and prescription-only medication, all concealed inside the vehicle driven by one of the suspects.

As part of ongoing efforts to combat drug smuggling and trafficking, security authorities urged citizens and residents to report any information related to drug smugglers or dealers, assuring that all reports are handled with strict confidentiality and without liability for the informant.
