CNB officers arrested a 39-year-old man for suspected drug trafficking. On Tuesday, he was arrested in his residence and the authorities have recovered around 20g of Ice and an improvised drug-smoking apparatus.
According to CNB, the investigations into the drug activities of all suspects are still going on.
If convicted of trafficking more than 250g of Ice, the person will face the death penalty. Authorities say that 250g of Ice is sufficient to feed the addiction of about 185 abusers for a week.
