One person has been arrested in Abu Dhabi for attempting to smuggle 4.5 million Captagon capsules concealed inside food cans.
Teams from Abu Dhabi Police launched an operation to track the suspect after receiving a tip-off.
They found that he had imported large numbers of cans of preserved green beans, and managed to hide the drugs in them.
Upon raiding his "warehouse", officials found 4.5 million capsules of Captagon inside the cans and seized them.
