Syria’s Drug Enforcement Administration (DEA) arrested two of the most wanted drug traffickers and dealers during a coordinated security operation in Homs and Idlib provinces, seizing quantities of narcotics and weapons in their possession, the Interior Ministry said Tuesday.
The operation, carried out after precise security monitoring of the suspects’ activities that led to their location, resulted in the seizure of 600,000 Captagon pills, along with light and medium weapons, RBG rounds, ammunition and various grenades, according to a ministry statement on Telegram.
Investigations are ongoing with the two detainees to uncover any possible network extensions and related operations before they are referred to the competent judiciary, the ministry said.
The operation is part of ongoing efforts by the Drug Enforcement Administration to pursue drug dealers and traffickers, dismantle their networks, and take necessary legal measures against them to protect the security of society and the safety of its citizens.
