JEDDAH: The border guards in the southern Saudi regions of Jazan, Najran and Asir have foiled numerous cannabis-smuggling attempts throughout last month.
Border guards spokesperson Col. Saher Al-Harbi said 46 people of different nationalities were arrested after crossing the Kingdom’s southern borders.
“The suspects, along with the drugs seized, will be referred to the competent authorities to carry on with the necessary procedures,” he said.
“The border guards are determined to protect the Kingdom’s borders from all those targeting its security, stability and capability. They are ready to thwart any smuggling and infiltration attempts and enforce the laws in the face of those who violate them,” Al-Harbi emphasized.
