Abu Dhabi police have made a significant breakthrough by apprehending two individuals involved in a suspected drug trafficking operation. The suspects, one of Latino descent and the other of Arab origin, were caught with a staggering five kilograms of cocaine, clearly intended for sale within the country. This successful operation strikes a blow against an international drug syndicate that has been targeting Middle Eastern nations, aiming to peddle narcotics and negatively influence society.

Major Tahir Gharib Al-Zahri, the Director of the Anti-Drugs Directorate in the Criminal Security Sector of Abu Dhabi Police, revealed that the operation’s success was a result of vigilant surveillance, corroborated intelligence, and the strategic execution of a court security plan. Authorities first monitored the movements of the Latino suspect and his Arab accomplice, ultimately leading to their arrest and the seizure of the illicit substances. Abu Dhabi Police reiterate their unwavering commitment to efficiently combat the drug epidemic, employing modern methods and technologies to protect the community, particularly the youth, from the harmful consequences of narcotics. They have adopted an advanced working system employing smart techniques and highly qualified human resources, which have proven effective in detecting and countering various forms of criminal activities. Abu Dhabi Police emphasize that anyone attempting to tamper with the state’s laws, with the intent to exploit, promote, or trade in narcotics, will face strict and uncompromising enforcement measures. Major Al-Zahri urges community members to cooperate with the Abu Dhabi Police in the fight against the drug scourge, providing security information through the hotline 8002626 to actively contribute to the community’s safety and stability, protecting young people from the risks associated with drug-related crimes.
