ZATCA foils smuggling of 301,000 Captagon pills at Saudi border crossings
The Saudi Gazette reports that the Saudi Arabian Customs Authority (ZATCA) has successfully intercepted a major drug smuggling operation at the country’s border crossings. A whopping 301,000 pills of the illegal drug Captagon were seized in a joint operation involving customs officials and security forces.
The interception of such a large quantity of Captagon pills is a significant blow to drug traffickers who try to smuggle their illicit goods into the country. Captagon, a powerful amphetamine-based stimulant, is a highly addictive drug that is often abused for its euphoric effects.
Thanks to the vigilance and cooperation of ZATCA and security forces, this attempt to bring illegal drugs into Saudi Arabia was thwarted. The authorities are committed to keeping the country safe from the dangers of drug trafficking and abuse.
This successful interception serves as a reminder of the tireless efforts of law enforcement agencies to protect the citizens of Saudi Arabia from the harmful effects of illegal drugs. The collaboration between ZATCA and security forces demonstrates the effectiveness of their strategies in combating drug smuggling at the border.
With this latest seizure, ZATCA has sent a strong message to drug traffickers that their illegal activities will not go unnoticed or unpunished. The authorities will continue to be vigilant and proactive in their efforts to safeguard the country from the scourge of drug trafficking.
