Upon searching them and the house, a quantity of various types of drugs was seized (marijuana, hashish, cocaine, cocaine base, etc.), divided and stored in plastic bags and containers, ready for promotion. Additionally, cigarette wrapping papers, a sword, and a sum of money were confiscated. During the investigation, the first admitted to being active in drug trade and promotion for several dealers in the Bekaa, in the southern suburb, along with the second, who admitted to the charges against him.
