When questioned, the group admitted dumping the narcotics in the water, yet, the shipment was traced down and retrieved, said a ministry statement late Thursday. The four men on the boat were arrested. They allegedly admitted that they had brought narcotics to be delivered to a Kuwaiti in cooperation with another citizen outside the country.

The detainees and confiscated belongings were referred to relevant authorities, pending legal action, while the suspected citizen was arrested after a legal warrant was issued, noted the statement.

Legal proceedings were taken and the case was referred to the Public Prosecution.
