DUBAI — Abu Dhabi police announced on Tuesday the arrest of a smuggler attempting to move 4.5 million tablets of the drug Captagon hidden in food cans to a neighboring country.
The arrest was made after a successful sting operation to monitor the suspect’s movements. It followed a tip that someone was attempting to bring the Captagon pills into the United Arab Emirates (UAE) as an intermediary destination before sending the drugs to a different country, according to a Facebook post by Abu Dhabi police authorities.
