Anti-Narcotics Unit arrests suspect manufacturing "Shabu" and trafficking drugs in Kabd

Under the presence and supervision of the First Deputy Prime Minister and Minister of Interior, Sheikh Fahad Yusuf Saud Al-Sabah, the General Directorate for Combating Narcotics successfully apprehended a suspect engaged in manufacturing shabu (methamphetamine), distributing, and trafficking in narcotics. The suspect exploited a shack in the Kabd area to conduct his criminal activities. His Kuwaiti nationality had previously been revoked due to confirmed dual nationality and possession of another citizenship.

The apprehension followed investigative procedures and surveillance of the suspect’s movements, culminating in a meticulously planned ambush that led to his arrest at his residence in the Saad Al-Abdullah area. Authorities seized two kilograms of shabu, along with raw materials used in the production of psychotropic substances.

Additionally, funds were discovered hidden in a tightly sealed underground pit. Upon confrontation, the suspect confessed to manufacturing shabu in a shack in the Kabd area and stated that the seized funds were proceeds from his narcotics trafficking.

Necessary legal measures have been taken against the suspect and the seized items, and procedures are underway to demolish the shack used for manufacturing narcotics.

His Excellency affirmed that the Ministry of Interior remains resolute in combating the scourge of drugs and cutting off its sources, and will show no leniency in enforcing the law against anyone who threatens the security of the country or endangers its citizens.
