Drugs worth 1 billion dirhams have been seized in Abu Dhabi, local police revealed on Friday.
The police arrested a gang of drug dealers and said they confiscated over one ton (1041 kilogrammes) of drugs from a gang of eight drug dealers.
Police officials added that the involved gang was trying to transport the drugs to the UAE in a unique fashion by “dissolving crystalised drugs into water.”
Abu Dhabi police said that the money earned through drug smuggling was laundered, adding that the gang received instructions from abroad.
As soon as the police received a tip-off, security plans were developed to bust the network and seize all quantities of narcotic substances. It was also found that there are major partners for the traffickers in the country and instructions were issued to them from abroad.
