The Internal Security Forces’ Counterterrorism Bureau has arrested two men suspected of drug dealing in Jdeideh, a statement from the agency reported Tuesday.
The bureau arrested Syrian nationals A.Aa., born in 1983, and W.J., born in 1992, after they were caught selling drugs on behalf of a dealer they said was nicknamed “al-Khal” (the Uncle).
During the arrest, officers seized 97 small plastic boxes of cocaine valued at around $4,800, five cell phones and an unspecified amount of money.
Investigations are underway with the relevant judiciary and the ISF is working to arrest others involved in the crime.
