A security pat-down revealed seventeen tablets of ten tablets each (170 tablets) and thirty individual tablets representing the remaining cut tablets. An iPhone 13 mobile phone was found on the CTC.

These simultaneous operations in three regions demonstrate the intensification of the fight against drug trafficking across the entire national territory by the OCRTIS and its regional branches.
