REPUBLIKA.CO.ID, BEIRUT -- The Lebanese Internal Security Forces Anti-Drug Bureau on Saturday arrested four Lebanese and two Syrians on drug dealing charges in the Bekaa region, the National News Agency (NNA) reported.

The suspects were arrested during a raid on a farm in the northern Bekaa town of Younin and a garage in the Baalbek-al-Kiel region.

Security forces found an electrical captagon pill-producing machine during the raid, the agency reported, adding the machine was previously used as a candy-producing machine.

It added that other assorted equipment used for the production of captagon pills were also discovered along with 10 kilograms of locally-produced cannabis and 50,000 packaged pills that were going to be smuggled to Jordan and Saudi Arabia.

The security forces also confiscated 300 liters of amphetamines, the main component of captagon.
