The Directorate of Trade and Consumer Protection seized 95 bags of flour, weighing 20 kg each, smuggled to the black market in Jaramana Camp.
Last week, Syria's Internal Trade and Consumer Protection Minister Amr Salem said the theft of flour has made the bread crisis worse in the war-torn country.
On his Facebook page, Salem said the government is working to prevent flour theft and new measures will be implemented starting next week to that end.
This comes after hundreds of complaints have been lodged by residents about the theft of state-subsidized wheat flour, which has been sold in the black market at many times its real price.
