TUNIS, Dec. 25 (Xinhua) -- Tunisian security forces have dismantled a drug trafficking network active in the capital Tunis, seizing 3.5 kg of cocaine, the Tunisian National Guard said Wednesday on its Facebook page.
National Guard units targeted the criminal network operating in the neighborhood of Ain Zaghouan, the Tunisian National Guard said, without elaborating on the details of the operation and number of arrests.
The operation followed investigations that resulted in the seizure of an unregistered car parked outside a residence in Tunis. Inside the vehicle, authorities seized 3.5 kg of cocaine.
The Tunisian government has taken a strong stance against drug trafficking, arresting hundreds of individuals suspected of being involved in the crime in recent nationwide operations. ■
