Two Lebanese individuals were arrested in the Airport Road area following intensive investigations and inquiries by the Internal Security Forces (ISF) related to drug trafficking.
The Public Relations Division of the ISF’s General Directorate issued a statement, noting that the Central Anti-Narcotics Bureau had received information about a network preparing to smuggle narcotics hidden inside food containers to Dubai via Beirut’s Rafic Hariri International Airport.
As a result of these intensive investigations, the Bureau identified the location where the package was to be delivered in the Airport Road area. The following individuals were arrested: A. N. D. (born in 1990, Lebanese nationality) and M. H. (born in 1988, Lebanese nationality).
The suspects were found in possession of several of the aforementioned containers, which contained 3 kilograms of Captagon pills – approximately 16,000 pills – professionally concealed.
“The necessary legal actions were taken against the detainees, and efforts are ongoing to arrest the remaining individuals involved under the supervision of the competent judiciary,” the statement said.
