RIYADH: An attempt to smuggle 1,364,706 captagon pills into Saudi Arabia was thwarted when inspectors from the Zakat, Tax and Customs Authority found the drugs hidden in a shipment at Al-Batha Port.
Officials said the drugs were discovered during a search of a consignment labeled as “air conditioning units.”
Authorities reaffirmed their commitment to the enhancement of customs surveillance of imports and exports in the Kingdom.
