ASIR — Two Sudanese residents have been arrested by traffic police in Asir Region for attempting to smuggle 106 kilograms of hashish that was hidden inside their vehicle.

The arrest is part of ongoing efforts by Saudi authorities to combat drug trafficking in the region.

The two individuals were placed under arrest, legal procedures were finalized, and they were handed over to the appropriate authority.

Authorities urged the public to report drug smuggling or trafficking by calling 911 in Makkah, Riyadh, and the Eastern Province, 999 in all other regions of the Kingdom, or 995 for the General Directorate of Narcotics Control.

Reports may also be sent by email to [email protected].

Officials said all reports are handled with the utmost confidentiality, and reporters bear no legal liability.

The seizure highlights the continued use of vehicles to conceal narcotics. The involvement of foreign nationals indicates the cross-border nature of the illicit trade. Authorities rely on both public reporting and routine patrols to intercept such attempts.
