Saudi customs seize drugs at port

  • The floor of the truck had been hollowed out to hide the pills in
  • Two people who were due to receive the drugs were arrested

Alert officials of Saudi customs prevented an attempt to bring in contraband drugs into the kingdom at Jeddah Islamic Port, seizing 1.6 million Captagon pills.

The pills were being brought into the Kingdom, the Zakat, Tax and Customs Authority said. The drugs were hidden in the hollowed-out floor of a truck.

After making the seizure, authorities coordinated with the General Directorate of Narcotics Control in the arrest of two people believed to be the planned recipients of the tablets in the Kingdom.

The authority said anyone with information related to suspected smuggling operations or customs violations could call the Security Reports Center’s confidential line on 1910, and that financial rewards were available for valid tip offs.

An attempt to smuggle 8.7 million Captagon pills hidden in a consignment of cocoa beans into the Kingdom was foiled at the beginning of August.
