Saudi Gazette report

RIYADH — The Saudi General Directorate of Narcotics Control (GDNC) has made a significant impact in the fight against international drug trafficking with a recent operation that thwarted the smuggling of 47 kilograms of cocaine.

The narcotics were ingeniously concealed within a shipment of starch powder in Spain.

This operation is part of Saudi Arabia's ongoing efforts to disrupt the activities of international criminal networks that smuggle drugs into the Kingdom and other countries worldwide.

The Directorate urges citizens and residents to report any information related to drug smuggling or distribution activities.

They can contact the authorities via several hotline numbers specific to different regions in Saudi Arabia or through the Directorate's email. All tips are handled with the utmost confidentiality.

The Directorate's relentless efforts in intercepting drug smuggling from abroad and curbing its distribution within the country highlight their commitment to maintaining public safety and bringing perpetrators to justice under the law.
