Libyan police seized over 300 kilograms of cannabis from Tripoli, which was en route to Ajdabiya, the Anti-Drugs Department said in a statement on Thursday.

The statement added that the officers also managed to arrest three Egyptian nationals with 25kg of cannabis in Tobruk.

Drug trade in Libya has proliferated since the 2011 civil war. On 5 March, a record shipment of cannabis worth around $37 million on its way from Niger to Libya was seized. The police confiscated the 17 tonnes of cannabis, in a shipment originating in Lebanon and bound for Libya.

The drugs had passed through the Togolese port of Lome before being transported by truck north to the Nigerien capital Niamey, and two border crossings away. The traffickers had planned to transport the drugs in trucks to Libya via the desert town of Agadez, a hub for smuggling goods and migrants across the Saharan desert.
