In a significant crackdown on drug trafficking, Kuwaiti authorities have arrested an Asian resident in the Al-Mangaf area for possessing 10 kilograms of pure narcotics. The seizure, conducted by the General Directorate for Drug Control, included six kilograms of pure heroin and four kilograms of shabu (crystal meth), with an estimated market value of 170,000 Kuwaiti dinars (over Dh2 million). This operation underscores Kuwait’s intensified efforts to combat the illegal drug trade. Police investigations revealed that the suspect was receiving instructions from abroad and utilized a social media platform’s location-sharing feature to coordinate deliveries to pre-determined locations. Authorities have urged residents to report suspicious activities through official channels, emphasizing the importance of public cooperation in these efforts. This arrest follows another recent raid on October 24, where Kuwaiti authorities uncovered a marijuana cultivation farm in the Sabah Al-Salem area, seizing 27 marijuana seedlings, one kilogram of processed marijuana, 50 grams of seeds, and two precision scales. These operations highlight Kuwait’s commitment to eradicating drug-related crimes through continuous field monitoring and enforcement.
