(Quqnoos)-National Security Directorate (NSD) forces arrested three drug-smugglers with 133 kgs of crystal drugs from a house in Herat.
The crystal drugs were kept secret inside a well, NSD staff said.
Residents of Herat are worried from militant drug-smugglers who are using residential areas for their activities.
Security forces are continuing their investigations about the issue.
They have urged the people to cooperate with Afghan security forces in arresting other members of this band.
The spokesman for Herat provincial police, Nur Khan Nikzad, reported that Ministry of Interior Affairs had a new plan to better fight against drug smuggling.
Nikzad added that the security forces will increase their efforts in this issue.
Herat province has borders with Iran and Turkmenistan and therefore, it is a perfect route for drug smuggling in the country.
According to security forces in the west, they had seized five tons of drugs in western Afghanistan last year.
