Royal Bhutan Police Foil Major Drug Trafficking Attempt in Gelephu

 In a significant crackdown on drug-related crimes, the Royal Bhutan Police (RBP) successfully intercepted an attempt to smuggle controlled substances in Gelephu, leading to the arrest of four individuals.

During routine surveillance, law enforcement officers apprehended a suspect found in possession of six pieces of SPM-PRX+. A swift follow-up investigation led to the arrest of three additional individuals traveling in a Bolero vehicle.

Utilizing the expertise of the RBP’s specialized canine unit, officers conducted a thorough search of the vehicle. This operation uncovered a hidden stash of 136 pieces of SPM-PRX+, carefully concealed beneath the driver’s foot mat and wrapped in black plastic to evade detection.

Upon interrogation, the suspects admitted to their involvement in the possession and consumption of the controlled substances. Authorities have launched a detailed investigation, and the case is set to be forwarded for legal proceedings.

The Royal Bhutan Police reaffirm their commitment to eradicating drug-related crimes and ensuring public safety. Law enforcement agencies continue to encourage citizens to report suspicious activities, reinforcing a collective effort to combat illegal drug trafficking. This successful operation underscores the critical role of specialized units, including K9 teams, in enhancing border security and intercepting illicit substances.
