DZWatch reports that two meticulously planned operations resulted in the confiscation of nearly 10,000 hallucinogenic pills, specifically 9,890 Pregabalin 300 mg tablets, and 200 grams of crystal cocaine. These successful interceptions are part of Algeria's continuous and robust efforts to combat smuggling and dismantle various forms of cross-border organized crime.
The operations align with the protective mandates of Algerian Customs, which are crucial for safeguarding both the national economy and public health. Furthermore, these actions led to the arrest of four individuals implicated in the trafficking network and the seizure of two vehicles that were being used for the transportation and distribution of these illicit substances. The concerted effort underscores Algeria's unwavering commitment to national security and the well-being of its citizens.
