The General Directorate of Narcotics Control, Saudi Arabia’s anti-drug agency, arrested two Saudi citizens in the Riyadh region accused of promoting narcotic drugs.[1][2][3][4] Officers stopped both men, completed the statutory procedures against them and referred them to the Public Prosecution for further action.[1][3][4]
The agency said the men were promoting 10 kilograms of hashish along with cocaine and tablets subject to medical-circulation regulation.[1][2][3][4] Officers seized the 10 kilograms of hashish, which is the cannabis component of this mixed case, while the cocaine and the 2,170 regulated tablets are excluded from cannabis quantities.[1]
Saudi security agencies urged citizens and residents to report any information about drug smuggling or promotion on the emergency number 911 in the Makkah, Madinah, Riyadh and Eastern Province regions and on 999 and 994 in the rest of the kingdom.[1] They also listed the Narcotics Control reports number 995 and the email 995@gdnc.gov.sa for such reports, saying all reports are handled with complete confidentiality and without any liability for the informant.[1]
