In a significant move to bolster public safety, the Attock District Police have successfully apprehended 19 individuals involved in various criminal activities across the region. The operation, which was conducted with precision, targeted proclaimed offenders, drug dealers, and other lawbreakers.
Wide-Ranging Arrests and Seizures
The police action, detailed in an official report, led to the capture of multiple categories of criminals. A key focus was on individuals evading the law, with five proclaimed offenders being taken into custody from different areas of the district. These arrests are expected to help resolve several pending court cases.
In a parallel crackdown on the narcotics trade, the police teams arrested eight drug peddlers. During these raids, law enforcement officials confiscated a substantial quantity of illegal substances. The seized drugs included 2.5 kilograms of hashish (charas) and 1.6 kilograms of heroin, dealing a blow to local drug supply chains.
Recovery of Illegal Arms and Stolen Property
Further expanding the scope of the operation, the police also targeted the illegal arms trade. Their efforts resulted in the arrest of three individuals found in possession of unlicensed firearms. The recovered weapons were promptly taken into police custody for further legal proceedings.
Adding to the list of successes, the police managed to apprehend three more suspects involved in separate incidents of vehicle theft. This action led to the recovery of stolen motorcycles, providing some relief to the victims of these crimes.
