In a major crackdown against drug smuggling, the security patrols in the Asir region of Saudi Arabia have apprehended two individuals who violated border security laws by smuggling 198 kilograms of the narcotic plant Khat. The arrests were made in the Al-Reith Governorate.
Both suspects have been detained, and appropriate legal measures are being taken against them. They have been transferred to the relevant authorities for further investigation and action.
Saudi security agencies are urging citizens and residents to report any information they may have concerning illegal activities related to drug smuggling or distribution.
Public assistance is critical for the authorities to act efficiently in combating drug-related issues. To make a report, individuals can call emergency numbers (911) in the regions of Mecca, Riyadh, and the Eastern Province, and (999) in other areas of the Kingdom.
Reports can also be made to the General Directorate for Drug Control at their hotline (995) or through their official email at [email protected]. The authorities assure that all reports will be treated with the utmost confidentiality.
