In the first raid, two major drug dealers were apprehended, and 29 kilograms of narcotics, including 19 kilograms of crystal meth (Ice) and 10 kilograms of heroin, were recovered from their possession. The operation also led to the seizure of a 9mm pistol, a drone, drone batteries, and a drone controller.

Acting on information provided by the arrested suspects, CNF teams carried out a second raid at another location, recovering one drone, 11 drone controllers, 12 drone batteries, a drone camera, a drone bunker, chargers, power adapters, and a large cache of weapons.
