Saudi police seized 589 kg of hashish in four separate smuggling operations across its border with Yemen in six days, a newspaper reported on Thursday.

Several people, including Ethiopians and Yemenis, were arrested as they tried to sneak into the Gulf Kingdom with the drugs through the mountains, Sabq said.

About 250 kg were seized in the first operation while the three other smuggling attempts involved 207 kg, 107 kg and 25 kg, the paper said, adding that the smugglers were seized by police in the border province of Jazan.
