Kuwait Customs thwarted an attempt to smuggle narcotics into the country via a postal parcel arriving from the Netherlands, which was declared to contain “sweets and chocolates.” Air cargo customs inspectors seized the suspected materials and took legal action against those involved.
According to Customs, inspectors suspected the parcel during routine screening of incoming mail at Kuwait International Airport, prompting a thorough search that uncovered four suspected cannabis packages weighing a total of approximately 126 grams, along with a white powder suspected to be cocaine weighing about 11 grams.
Customs added that the seized substances were tightly concealed inside chocolate and biscuit packaging in an attempt to hide them and smuggle them into the country.
