JEDDAH: The Cutoms Department at Yanbu’s Prince Abdul Mohsen bin Abdul Aziz Airport recently foiled an attempt to smuggle 64,165 Captagon pills found hidden in four boxes.

Saad Al-Buqami, director-general of Customs at the Airport, said: “During our customs procedures, hidden pills were found in four boxes inside a passenger’s bag. They were wrapped in a material to camouflage the items.”

Al-Buqami praised the efforts of the Customs officials at all land, sea and air border crossings, saying that any attempts to smuggle prohibited items into the Kingdom will be thwarted in order to keep the country safe and secure.
