RIYADH: Saudi anti-narcotics squads have foiled an attempt to smuggle 980,000 amphetamine pills which are used to stimulate the central nervous system (CNS).
The security forces succeeded in smashing the drug smuggling ring and arrested two Saudi nationals and two Turkish accomplices in Riyadh.
The anti-narcotics squads which acted following a tip-off detected a pick-up truck as it was in a desert area on Ramah highway and was eventually seized on arrival at the Saudi capital.
The suspects have been referred to the relevant investigation authorities for questioning.
In a separate operation, the anti-drug squads arrested traffickers as they were attempting to smuggle 801,000 amphetamine pills by sea.
