Driver Held for Possession of Drugs, Car Registration Certificate with MP Harb Name
The Anti-Drug Bureau of the Internal Security Forces on Tuesday seized three grams of hashish from a car in the Bekaa region and found a fake vehicle registration certificate carrying the name of MP Butros Harb in the possession of the driver, state-run National News Agency reported.
Earlier on Tuesday, OTV said “the Anti-Drug Bureau seized a quantity of drugs from the car of a northern MP."
The driver, Rami Tanios, and a male companion were arrested and “investigations showed that the vehicle registration certificate is forged and has nothing to do with MP Harb,” NNA said.
“Investigations are underway to unveil the circumstances of the incident and identify those who forged the vehicle registration certificate,” the news agency added, noting that the driver is a former prisoner who was jailed for drug smuggling.
