ISLAMABAD – During operations in several cities on Saturday, the Anti-Narcotics Force (ANF) detained four individuals and found a significant amount of narcotics.

During a search at Misrial Road in Rawalpindi, the ANF found 100 narcotic tablets on two suspects, both of whom were residents of Peshawar. In addition, 144 kg of hashish and 30 kg Pakistani opium were found in a vehicle near the Wali junction in Nowshera. The suspect was detained and was a native of Peshawar.

Additionally, ANF and FC in joint operations seized 13 kg of hashish in Khyber and 2400 intoxicating pills from the bag of a suspect who has been detained and was travelling to Colombo from Karachi International Airport.
