Saudi Arabia has seized a new consignment of banned drugs being brought into the kingdom at Al-Haditha port.
The Zakat, Tax and Customs Authority seized 302,255 Captagon pills from the fuel tank of a truck and medical braces worn by a smuggler.
The authority added that the port was also able to thwart a second smuggling attempt after finding 31,325 Captagon pills hidden inside medical braces that the smuggler was wearing around his body. The third operation seized 9,300 pills hidden them in stone frescoes.
The operations were carried out in coordination with the General Directorate of Narcotics Control and three people have been arrested.
The authority confirmed that it is continuing to tighten customs control over the Kingdom’s imports and exports and confront smugglers, and called on the public to report smuggling crimes and violations, with financial rewards if the information reported is accurate.
