Libya’s Anti-Narcotics and Psychotropic Substances Bureau has thwarted an attempted drug trafficking operation in the Al-Kish area of Benghazi, seizing a significant quantity of narcotics during a high-stakes security operation.

According to an official statement, the Special Task Force received a credible tip-off about the activities of a known suspect, identified by the initials “H.Z.,” who is allegedly involved in drug distribution networks across the city.

In a carefully planned sting operation, an undercover informant—monitored by security personnel—contacted the suspect and arranged a drug handover near the Gulf Company premises in exchange for a cash payment.

Security units swiftly executed a well-coordinated ambush at the agreed location. Shortly after, an individual appeared carrying a plastic bag and approached the informant to finalize the deal. However, just as the handover was about to occur, the security forces intervened.

The suspect managed to drop the bag and flee the scene, eluding immediate arrest despite a rapid pursuit by the authorities.

Upon inspecting the recovered bag, officers discovered 700 tablets of the narcotic Tramadol, five pills of “Extra”, and 15 slabs of hashish, locally known as “passport.” The seized hashish weighed approximately 1.5 kilograms.

Officials confirmed that all legal procedures have been initiated and a formal report has been filed. Efforts are ongoing to track down the fugitive suspect and bring him to justice.
