Captagon pills hidden inside water pipes seized

The Directorate General of the Internal Security Forces announced on Friday that it dismantled a drug smuggling network and arrested its members.

The arrested members of the network are identified by their initials as follows: R. Q. (Syrian national, born in 1997), M. S. (Syrian national, born in 1993).

They were arrested in the northern city of Tripoli and a parcel prepared for smuggling to an African country was seized.

The parcel weighed 5,100 kg and contained five boxes of water pipes with around 30,000 Captagon narcotic pills hidden inside of them.
