The Ras Al Khaimah Customs Department thwarted two attempts to smuggle nearly 11 kilogrammes of drugs over the past week.
The narcotic substances were found hidden in the bags of two passengers upon their arrival at Ras Al Khaimah International Airport in the UAE.
Customs officers were suspicious of the two passengers and therefore their luggage was thoroughly searched.
It later turned out that the contraband was hidden in a professional manner.
The two individuals and all seized items were handed over to relevant authorities to complete appropiate security procedures.
Director-General of Ras Al Khaimah Customs, Dr. Mohammed Abdullah Al Mahrazi, lauded the role played by customs personnel in protecting the country and combatting customs violations and smuggling crimes.
This success was the result of the support for the department’s customs inspection cadres through a series of intensive training courses, which taught them inspection procedures and provided them with the necessary capacities and tools to perform their work to the fullest.
