Police seize over 1 tons of narcotics in SE Iran

TEHRAN, Oct. 30 (MNA) – The Sistan and Baluchestan police commander announced the arrest of three drug traffickers and the seizure of 1,193 kilograms of illicit drugs in the province.

Second Brigadier General Ahmad Taheri said on Sunday that the police forces in the southeastern province could identify an armed drug-trafficking gang in the province who were trying to transfer a big shipment of illicit drugs from Chabahar County into the central parts of the country.

During the operation, 3 smugglers were arrested and 1.193 tons of opium were confiscated, he added.

Iran is at the forefront of the fight against drug trafficking and thousands of Iranian forces have been so far martyred to protect the world from the danger of drugs.

Despite high economic and human costs, the Islamic Republic has been actively fighting drug trafficking over the past decades.
