Inspectors from the Air Cargo Customs Administration, under the General Customs Authority, seized substances suspected to be cannabis and cocaine inside a parcel arriving from the Netherlands to Kuwait International Airport, which was declared as “sweets and chocolates.”
The seizure followed suspicions raised during the customs inspection of incoming mail. A thorough search of the parcel revealed four items suspected to be cannabis, with a total weight of approximately 126 grams, and a white powder suspected to be cocaine, weighing around 11 grams. The substances were found hidden inside containers of chocolates and biscuits.
In coordination between the Customs Research and Investigation Office and the General Administration for Combating Narcotics and Alcohol at the Ministry of Interior, the suspect was apprehended, an official report was drawn up, and the suspect along with the seized items was referred to the competent authorities to complete legal procedures.
