Abu Dhabi

The Abu Dhabi Police apprehended three people after discovering 2.25 million Captagon pills in containers labeled as dried apricots.

The traffickers, according to the authorities, planned to sell the illegal drugs in the United Arab Emirates and ship the remainder to a nearby Middle Eastern country.

One million of these pills were for the local market, while the remaining tablets were for smuggling, according to Brigadier General Taher Al Dhaheri, the director of the anti-narcotics section for the Abu Dhabi Police.

According to Al Dhaheri, the coordination and collaboration with UAE officials helped make the operation successful. The operation, according to him, was successful because of a thorough preparation and cooperation with UAE officials.

After being discovered concealed in three separate residences in a neighboring emirate, the narcotics were seized. Additionally, the equipment used to package the tablets was taken.

To counteract the risks presented by narcotics, Brigadier General Taher emphasized the importance of working with pertinent organizations.

He urged people to come forward with any information on drug-related offenses. He said that the actions of the Abu Dhabi Police had been successful in reducing drug trafficking and had resulted in several seizures.

He continued by saying that the police department's main objective is to safeguard society, especially the youth, from drugs' negative impacts.

They also strive to preserve social stability, promote security, and improve crime prevention measures.
