The Pakistan Coast Guards (PCG) seized a large quantity of high-quality narcotics during intelligence-based anti-smuggling operations in the Gwadar region of Balochistan, including the areas of Hallery and Peshogan.  According to a statement issued by the PCG, teams recovered 1,400 kg of hashish, 105 kg of crystal meth (ice), 8 kg of heroin, and 6.5 kg of opium hidden in bushes in the Hallery area. 

In a separate operation, the PCG confiscated 476 kg of high-quality hashish during snap-checking along the coastal route at Pasoo Gap in Peshogan. Authorities believe the narcotics were intended to be smuggled abroad via sea routes.  The seized drugs are estimated to be worth approximately $134.43 million in the international market.  The Pakistan Coast Guards reaffirmed their commitment to combating narcotics trafficking and all forms of smuggling to help safeguard and strengthen the national economy.
