Security forces reportedly raided two locations, a storage site where the suspects were unloading and preparing the pills for trafficking and another site where a digger was used to conceal an additional amount, based on information gathered by the teams.

The suspects confessed to having partners who prepared and smuggled the drugs from Hamburg, Germany, to a UAE port.

One suspect reportedly entered the UAE on a visit visa specifically to execute the operation and the mastermind, residing abroad, financed and managed the entire plan.
