UAE security agencies, including the National Anti-Narcotics Agency and the Federal Authority for Identity, Citizenship, Customs and Port Security, have intercepted 14 drug smuggling attempts at airports over two months, resulting in the seizure of over 300kg of narcotics. The operations involved intelligence sharing between countries in Europe and Asia, leading to the arrest of several suspects. Advanced technological systems were used to detect hidden narcotics in luggage and cargo without requiring manual inspections, improving both efficiency and detection rates. This follows a recent report of 16.2kg of crystal meth being discovered inside a vehicle’s tire at a border checkpoint.
