JAZAN: Authorities in Jazan have arrested a Saudi citizen trying to smuggle 380 kilograms of the stimulant drug khat in his vehicle. Abdulmajid Al-Kanaan, spokesman for the General Administration of Mujahideen, said that field patrols in Harub, Jazan, managed to arrest the man, who is in his thirties, thanks to a “proactive security follow-up of the activities of criminal networks involved in the smuggling of narcotic substances in the region.” Legal measures have been taken against the smuggler, he added. In May, security operations conducted by the Border Guards seized 25.4 tons of khat in the Jazan region and 16 people were arrested, all of whom are Yemeni nationals.
