An armed suspected drug-dealer wanted on over 75 arrest warrants has been arrested in Mansourieh, the Internal Security Forces said Thursday.

The crimes that Lebanese national E.Sh., born in 1996, was wanted for include murder, drug dealing and non-compliance with authorities. He was arrested on April 5, the ISF statement said.

The agency said the suspect was "armed at all times" and had distributed drugs that were transported between Bekaa and Beirut "under the radar."

During his interrogation, the suspect admitted to distributing cocaine “on a large scale” in Beirut and Mount Lebanon, and having drug dealers work for him.

The court has initiated prosecution and investigations are ongoing to arrest associated suspects.
