Saudi Arabia’s General Directorate of Narcotics Control has arrested three Ethiopian residents in the Riyadh region on charges of promoting 3 kilograms of hashish and 31,588 tablets subject to medical circulation regulations.
According to a report by the Saudi Gazette, the arrests were made as part of the directorate’s ongoing anti-drug campaign. Legal procedures were completed against all three suspects, who have been referred to the Public Prosecution.
The GDNC reminded the public that drug-related tips can be reported by calling 995, or 911 in Makkah, Madinah, Riyadh, and the Eastern Province, and 999 elsewhere in the Kingdom.
The directorate said all reports are treated with full confidentiality and that those who report violations carry no legal liability.
