RIYADH: Customs officers on the Kingdom’s northern borders have thwarted an attempt to smuggle nearly 5 million Captagon pills hidden in egg trays within a consignment of goods sent through the border point.
Haditha Customs Director General Ibrahim Al-Enezi told media that the pills were found to be hidden inside egg tray cartons loaded onto trucks.
He said that the smugglers had cut the tray to put the pills inside. “The customs officers have foiled even more complicated of smuggling attempts in the past,” he added.
