The Anti-Narcotics Department at the Sharjah Police General Command seized a package containing four kilograms of paper saturated with a narcotic substance, sent to a person inside the country, in preparation for its promotion within the country.
The Director of the Department, Colonel Majid Sultan Al Assam, confirmed that he had received information about a person’s involvement in activities related to drug trafficking and promotion. Accordingly, a specialized team was formed to follow up on the suspect and verify the extent of his connection with internal elements or external networks for drug trade and promotion.
He added: “Investigations revealed that he cooperated with five others of different Asian nationalities in promoting drugs within the country, and their connection to external networks. By collecting evidence and searching their homes, varying quantities of hashish prepared for use and promotion were found, and A4-sized papers saturated with a narcotic substance.
He said that the suspects used camouflage methods to remove suspicions, but security expertise and careful examination by the drug control team led to the discovery of narcotic substances and thwarted the attempt to promote them.
He stated that, through follow-up investigations and gathering information, a postal package was discovered coming from a foreign country via a shipping company, addressed in the name of one of the suspects.
