The Public Security Directorate (PSD) announced Sunday that its Anti-Narcotics Department (AND) is firmly persisting with a targeted crackdown against crystal methamphetamine across the Kingdom, warning of severe legal and administrative penalties for smuggling, trafficking, promoting, or using the lethal drug.

In a statement, the PSD spokesperson reported that during the 11th week of the intensive campaign, law enforcement personnel dealt with 129 cases nationwide. These included 40 cases involving trafficking and promotion of crystal meth and 89 cases of drug use.

Police arrested 62 alleged dealers and promoters, alongside 127 users involved in these cases. Authorities seized 3.806 kilograms of crystal methamphetamine from the suspects.

The spokesperson reaffirmed that the anti-drug operation will continue without leniency until it achieves its objectives of eradicating the substance, raising public awareness, and prosecuting anyone involved with the drug, which causes fatal health outcomes and drives violent crimes that endanger public safety.

The PSD urged citizens to fulfill their social responsibility by reporting any information regarding crystal meth or suspect activity to the primary emergency line (911), assuring that all reports are handled with absolute confidentiality and seriousness.
