Dubai Police have foiled an attempt to smuggle 365 kg of drugs, making it the largest drug seizure in the UAE.
The illegal items, worth nearly AED 280 million, were found hidden inside used car spare parts.
Sixteen suspects were arrested during the raids carried out in multiple locations, as part of "Operation Stalker".
Acting on a tip-off, the anti-narcotics department formed a surveillance team called DXB24, which was divided into two groups to track down the culprits.
