Smuggling

Border security men arrested a Pakistani who hid a quantity of heroin in a truck at Nuwaiseeb border outlet. Police were able to trace him as there was blood from cuts he suffered after climbing over barbed wire. The Pakistani driver escaped while customs officers were searching the truck. The drugs were hidden in a fire extinguisher. Separately, Kuwait International Airport customs officers foiled an Egyptian man’s attempt to smuggle 20,000 Tramadol tablets hidden in a vest he was wearing. Officers noticed he was very nervous near the luggage pick-up area, so they stopped and searched his luggage, but did not find anything. But he was getting more tense, so they searched him physically and found the drug in the lining of his vest. The suspect was arrested and sent to concerned authorities.
