TUNIS, Dec. 27 (Xinhua) -- Tunisian security forces have dismantled a drug trafficking network active in the northwestern province of Siliana, arresting three individuals, the Tunisian National Guard said Friday on its Facebook page.
The arrestees include a woman, it said, without mentioning the timing of the operation or the identities of the suspects.
National Guard units targeted the criminal network in the town of Rouhia in Siliana, and a quantity of narcotic pills, sharp tools, and a sum of money were seized during the operation.
Upon reviewing the case, the public prosecution authorized their detention pending investigations.
