News Desk: In a major counter-narcotics operation, the Field Enforcement Unit (FEU) Noshki confiscated more than 300 kilograms of Methamphetamine (commonly known as Ice), carrying an estimated street value of Rs18.67 billion, according to official sources on Saturday.
Following directives from the Assistant Collector FEU Noshki, enforcement personnel intercepted a Hino truck en route from Taftan to Quetta. Upon an extensive search, the team discovered a custom-built fuel tank discreetly installed beneath the rear chassis of the vehicle.
A meticulous inspection of the tank led to the discovery of multiple boxes wrapped in plastic sheets, containing a suspicious crystalline substance. The two individuals on board failed to furnish any credible explanation regarding the consignment.
The detainees were identified as Babul, son of Dil Murad, and Amin Baloch, son of Hussain, both residents of Hoshab Tehsil, Kech District, Turbat. The truck and recovered material were transported to the FEU headquarters, where verification confirmed the substance to be Methamphetamine (Ice) weighing approximately 300 kilograms.
The cumulative value of the seized narcotics and vehicle has been estimated at around Rs18.67 billion. Authorities have registered an FIR, taken the suspects into custody, and initiated a comprehensive investigation to trace the wider trafficking network.
