Multi-Agency Crackdowns Seize Tons Narcotics Arizona, Kenya, India

Law enforcement agencies across multiple regions are intensifying their efforts to combat narcotics trafficking and illegal drug production. In Koraput, India, police have seized large quantities of ganja, cracked down on illegal tobacco trade, and dismantled a motorcycle theft racket under Operation Prahar. In Kakamega South, Kenya, NACADA and local police dismantled a major narcotics and illicit alcohol cartel, seizing over 300,000 litres of illicit alcohol and arresting key suspects linked to supplying drugs to students. In Arizona, the DEA is escalating its offensive against the Sinaloa Cartel, which is identified as the state's greatest drug threat, resulting in a 48% increase in arrests this year and massive seizures of fentanyl, cocaine, heroin, and methamphetamine. US federal prosecutors are pursuing aggressive legal actions to hold cartel members accountable, with officials delivering stern warnings to drug traffickers. Additionally, the US government is pressuring Latin American countries, including Mexico and Ecuador, to strengthen cooperation on cartel crackdowns, with threats of tariffs and military action underscoring the seriousness of the campaign.
