The General Customs Administration’s Air Cargo Customs Department, in cooperation with the Ministry of Interior’s General Directorate for Combating Narcotics, foiled an attempt to smuggle 50 sheets saturated with a narcotic chemical, weighing approximately 323 grams in total. The drugs were professionally concealed inside a child’s car seat within a postal parcel arriving from Canada, and the suspect linked to the incident was apprehended.
In a statement on Sunday, Customs announced that the seizure followed suspicions raised by customs inspectors during the inspection of incoming mail. Upon thorough examination, a bag containing A4-sized sheets soaked with the narcotic substance was found inside the car seat’s drawer, in an attempt to conceal and bypass customs controls.
Subsequently, coordination was established between the Customs Investigation and Inquiry Office and the Ministry of Interior’s General Directorate for Combating Narcotics. This collaboration led to the suspect’s arrest and the preparation of an official report, paving the way for completing the necessary legal procedures.
Customs reaffirmed its commitment to continuing efforts to combat drug smuggling attempts through all entry points, and to strengthening cooperation and coordination with the Ministry of Interior and relevant authorities to safeguard national security and public safety.
