As part of the General Customs Authority’s efforts to combat drug smuggling, customs inspectors at Kuwait International Airport apprehended a female traveler arriving from Addis Ababa, Ethiopia, after she was suspected of involvement in illicit activities and subjected to inspection procedures in Terminal 4.
The search revealed that she was in possession of 564 bags containing marijuana, packaged and prepared for sale, with a total weight of 1.763 kilograms. It was determined that the traveler is a Bangladeshi national working as a domestic helper.
In a separate operation in Terminal 5, inspectors apprehended an Indian national and found in his possession seven envelopes containing a powder suspected to be heroin, with a total weight of two grams, as well as one piece of hashish weighing eight grams.
