KUWAIT CITY, May 13: In a significant breakthrough in the fight against drug trafficking, the local anti-narcotics unit of the General Department for Drug Control has apprehended two suspects accused of smuggling narcotics into the Central Prison using drones. The suspects, both stateless residents (Bedouns), were arrested in the areas of Fintas and Saad Al-Abdullah.

The arrests follow extensive investigations and surveillance that revealed the duo’s method of operation. Authorities discovered that the suspects had used unmanned aerial vehicles (drones) to transport drugs to an inmate inside the Central Prison. The smuggling operation was carried out in exchange for financial compensation.

The Ministry of Interior emphasized its unwavering commitment to combating all forms of criminal activity, particularly drug trafficking, which it described as a serious threat to public safety and the well-being of society.

The Ministry also called on citizens and residents to support national security efforts by reporting any suspicious activities through official communication channels.
