Sharjah Police arrested a gang that planned to smuggle narcotics inside marble stones, thwarting the attempt through an operation called 'the destructive stone'. The three accused were directed by dealers outside the country.
The accused, of Asian nationalities, planned to smuggle and bring in more than 226 kg of hashish, psychotropic substances and narcotic drugs, and hide them inside marble stones for the purpose of promoting and selling them within the country.
Colonel Majid Sultan Al-Asam, Director of the Anti-Narcotics Department at Sharjah Police, revealed that information had been received indicating the existence of a gang whose operations were managed by dealers outside the country.

The gang reportedly used unconventional smuggling methods, as they hid the narcotics inside marble slabs that were shipped to the country’s ports in an attempt to evade the eyes of the police. However, the police was on the lookout; the accused were caught, and the plan foiled.
Major General Abdullah Mubarak bin Amer, Deputy Commander-in-Chief of Sharjah Police, praised the efforts of the work teams and their performance in thwarting this new scheme to hide narcotics in marble stones for the purpose of trafficking and promoting them.
He also stressed that Sharjah Police continues to strengthen its strong security fence through its effective preemptive strikes against drug smugglers, promoters and dealers, and the constant readiness of its field personnel and technology to confront any threat that affects the security and stability of society.
The Sharjah Police General Command also called on members of society, both citizens and residents, not to succumb to external temptations, and to enhance cooperation and joint responsibility between them and the police, through reporting incidents via the number 8004654 or via email at dea@shjpolice.gov.ae.
