Abu Dhabi Police seized 184 kilograms of hashish from two individuals in an Operation codenamed 'Secret Hideouts.'
The narcotics were concealed within marble cylinders.
The Director of the Anti-Narcotics Directorate at the Criminal Security Sector of Abu Dhabi Police, Brigadier Taher Gharib Al Dhaheri, said the criminal network, directed by an individual based outside the country, employed international telephone numbers to disseminate unsolicited promotional materials for narcotics.
The Anti-Narcotics Directorate apprehended the suspects in flagrante delicto in one of the country's emirates, he explained, adding that the two individuals were found in possession of narcotics.
The suspects have been remanded to judicial authorities for prosecution.
