The Dubai Police have busted an international drug trafficking network with the arrest of six suspects in under seven hours of receiving a tip-off.
An informer told the police that the suspects would attempt to smuggle drugs in 280 packaging bags (5.6 tonnes) filled with a mixture of natural and plastic broad beans. The police trailed the suspects, raided their den and seized 436kg of drugs.
Code-named ‘Operation Legumes’, the mission required the deployment of a K9 unit to sniff out the narcotics stuffed in plastic food.
Some members of the gang resided in Dubai, while others are based abroad. According to the tip-off, the drugs would be hidden in a legumes shipment and stored in a warehouse. The police located the warehouse and raided it. Officers recovered the shipment that was to be sent to a “nearby country”.
An officer said the exchange of information and expertise with other polices agencies has “contributed significantly” in thwarting drug smuggling bids.
