01 · THE DISPATCH

Police arrested two suspects from the Jerusalem area on Wednesday afternoon on suspicion of operating a drug trafficking network for dangerous substances, according to police spokesperson Inbar Tuizer. The suspects, in their 20s and 30s, were taken into custody following a police operation. During searches of their homes and vehicle, officers discovered a safe containing tens of thousands of shekels and more than 10 grams of crystal meth.

The arrest follows an earlier Zioneer report from Wednesday morning that detailed the discovery of the same operation after a months-long undercover investigation. In that earlier stage, police seized a separate cache of crystal meth hidden on a car roof and NIS 66,000, also linked to the network. The new development — the arrest of the two suspects and the seizure of additional crystal meth and cash — marks the culmination of the investigation, with the suspects now in custody.
