Security forces in northern and eastern Syria seized huge quantities of Captagon in Qamishli, which is considered the largest smuggling operation of narcotics in the region.

Internal Security Forces estimated the amount of Captagon at about 438 kilograms, consisting of more than 2,570,580 pills hidden in ceramic and granite tiles.

Security forces said that these substances entered northern and eastern Syria through the areas of smugglers’ groups, to be transferred to neighboring countries.

Internal Security confirmed that some of these substances had already reached neighboring countries through a critical smuggling operation, but they were able to seize this quantity in warehouses.
