The Anti-Narcotics Department (AND) foiled an attempt to smuggle 100,000 narcotic pills to a neighboring country, nabbing three suspects involved, spokesman for the Public Security Directorate (PSD) stated Wednesday.

The AND personnel, following a tip-off, gathered information and identified the traffickers, who planned to smuggle the illegal substances in a freight vehicle.

Two suspects were caught red-handed, while the third was identified and apprehended in a separate raid, the spokesman added.
