'We received a tip-off by the US-based Drugs Information Agency, which had long suspected that the region had been used as a drug distribution lane by an international drug syndicate,' BNN's drug eradication deputy head, Brig.

He said the syndicate regularly used boats to transport the drugs and smuggle them into the country, adding that the two Iranians were being detained by the BNN for further questioning.
