Air Cargo Customs, in coordination with the General Directorate for Combating Narcotics at the Ministry of Interior and under the directives of First Deputy Prime Minister and Minister of Interior Sheikh Fahad Al-Yousef, thwarted an attempt to smuggle 50 sheets saturated with a narcotic chemical into the country, with a total weight of approximately 323 grams.
The details of the seizure emerged when customs inspectors suspected a postal parcel arriving from Canada during routine screening of incoming mail. Upon closer inspection, a bag was found professionally concealed inside a drawer of a child’s chair, containing A4-sized sheets saturated with the narcotic substance, in an attempt to evade detection.
Direct coordination between the Customs Research and Investigation Office and narcotics officers led to the apprehension of the suspect linked to the incident. A report was drawn up and the suspect was referred to the competent authorities to complete legal procedures against him.
For its part, the General Directorate of Customs emphasized its continued vigilance and resolute response to all smuggling attempts through all entry points, reaffirming its close cooperation with the Ministry of Interior to safeguard national security and the safety of its citizens.
