Border Guards in Jazan have seized 50 kg of hashish from two motorcyclists at the Tiwal border point. The guards had to fire warning shots in the air to stop the smugglers. But they abandoned the contraband hidden in a car tire and fled back to the other side of the border.

In another incident, Border Guards arrested two passengers in a car in which had 12 packets of qat hidden inside.

Commander of the Border Guards in Jazan Maj. Gen. Abdul Aziz Al-Sobhi said smugglers could not outsmart the Border Guards with their ploys “and that is why their criminal attempts are being foiled every time.”

The officer also commended the dedication of border patrols in their efforts to check attempts by smugglers and infiltrators to cross the border illegally.
