RIYADH — Two Yemeni expatriates were arrested in Asir by the Special Forces for Road Security for promoting 27 kilograms of hashish.

The suspects were arrested as part of the security authorities' ongoing efforts to combat drug trafficking and promotion.

According to the authorities, the necessary legal procedures were completed against the suspects, and they were referred to the relevant authority.

Security authorities urged citizens and residents to report drug smugglers and dealers by calling 995, 911 in Makkah, Madinah, Riyadh, and the Eastern Province, or 999 in the rest of the Kingdom.

The authorities said all reports are handled with complete confidentiality, and those reporting violations bear no legal responsibility.
