The Anti Narcotics Force (ANF) on Wednesday seized 2,799 cans of chemicals used in heroin manufacturing from Peshawar and arrested three smugglers including two foreigners of Tajik origin.
The ANF foiled a bid to smuggle a huge amount of precursor chemicals to Tajikistan via Afghanistan in a record seizure of its kind, said a press release.
The company’s owners and the two Tajiks were arrested for trying to smuggle controlled substances.
Following a tip off, Peshawar ANF conducted a raid at Al-Khyber Itihad Goods on Peshawar Ring Road and recovered the banned materials.
A case under the Control of Narcotics Substances Act-1997 has been registered against the arrested and further investigations are underway.
