Tunisian security units have dismantled a drug trafficking network in the northern Ariana province.

Axar.az reports citing private radio station Mosaique FM.

"On Friday, the security units dismantled a drug trafficking network, led by two brothers and operating in the Ettadhamen City," said the radio.

After a raid on his home, the security units arrested a man, while his brother and other members of the network remain at large.

During the operation, three kilograms of marijuana, 2,100 ecstasy pills, and 150 grams of cocaine were seized.

The Tunisian government has taken a strong stance against drug trafficking. Recent nationwide operations have led to the arrest of hundreds of suspects.
