The Ajman Police, in coordination with the Ministry of Interior (MoI), have foiled an attempt to smuggle 2.5 million captagon pills worth Dh25 million.
The pills, hidden in 40 feed-grinding machines and a power generator, were seized at a UAE port. The operation led to the arrest of three Arab suspects.
A 51-year-old suspect, staying illegally in the country, was arrested red-handed at the warehouse as he was trying to extract the pills from the power generator. Two others, aged 30 and 40, were arrested from other emirates.
Addressing a Press conference, Major-General Sheikh Sultan bin Abdullah Al Nuaimi, Commander-in-Chief of the Ajman Police, said the ministry's Federal Anti-Narcotics Authority received a tip-off about the shipment two months ago.
Based on the information, a team comprising anti-narcotic officers from the Ajman Police and the MoI was formed. The team kept a close watch on the suspects and waited for them to receive the shipment in two phases. The raid was then conducted at their location in Al Jarf industrial area.
