The Anti-Narcotics Department Thwarts Attempt to Smuggle 210 Sheets of "A4" Drug into Kuwait via Postal Shipment

The General Directorate for Combating Narcotics thwarted an attempt to smuggle the drug “A4” into the country, delivering another blow to drug traffickers. The operation resulted in the arrest of suspects of Sri Lankan nationality and the seizure of narcotics intended for trafficking.

The Ministry of Interior stated on Monday evening that the details of the case stemmed from intelligence indicating an attempt to smuggle the “A4” drug via a postal package sent through air cargo. In response, coordination was established with the General Customs Authority. Inspection and search operations led to the discovery of 210 sheets of “A4” drug, disguised as instructional booklets and concealed inside 10 light bulbs. After completing security procedures, the recipient of the package was apprehended. Upon interrogation, he admitted that he was preparing to hand it over to a second suspect. A well-planned ambush was subsequently set up, resulting in the second suspect’s arrest. Authorities also seized 10 grams of methamphetamine (shabu) and a sensitive scale from their possession.

The Ministry of Interior reaffirmed its continued proactive strikes against drug smugglers and distributors, and its firm stance against any attempts to introduce these toxins into the country. It emphasized that it remains on high alert against anyone who dares to undermine societal security.
