Algiers, Algeria | June 5th, 2025 — In a significant blow to narcotics smuggling networks, a coordinated operation conducted by agents of the Algerian Customs in partnership with units of the People’s National Army has successfully thwarted a major drug trafficking attempt in the province of Blida.

The high-stakes intervention led to the seizure of 169 kilograms of processed cannabis (kif traité) meticulously hidden in the roof compartment of a transport truck. Authorities confirmed that the smugglers had gone to great lengths to conceal the narcotics, employing sophisticated methods in an attempt to bypass inspection.

Thanks to the vigilance and coordination between the Customs services and military personnel, the vehicle involved in the operation was intercepted and immediately seized. The primary suspect was apprehended on the spot and has since been handed over to the competent judicial authorities for prosecution.
