The General Department for Drug Control under Kuwait’s Ministry of Interior has successfully apprehended 10 suspects across multiple investigations. The arrests targeted individuals involved in the illegal distribution and possession of controlled substances, including narcotics and psychotropic drugs. Authorities also recovered alcoholic beverages and firearms that were allegedly being prepared for trafficking purposes.
The operation demonstrates the ministry’s commitment to combating drug trafficking and organized crime within the country. Each case was handled separately, with investigations focusing on both large-scale trafficking operations and personal possession violations. The recovered items have been secured as evidence for ongoing legal proceedings.
The suspects now face prosecution under Kuwait’s stringent drug and weapons laws. The ministry continues to intensify enforcement efforts to prevent the circulation of illegal substances and weapons throughout the nation.
