On Wednesday, Dubai Customs announced the seizure of over 6.5kg of drugs from a border-crossing traveler. The individual, displaying nervousness, rushed through customs inspection, triggering officers to conduct a manual search. This revealed a transparent plastic bag hidden in a secret clothing pocket containing approximately 3 grams of crystal meth.

Further inspection of the traveler's vehicle uncovered rolls containing 6.567 kilograms of hashish. Last month, Dubai Customs intercepted an attempt to smuggle 234,000 Tramadol pills concealed in a towel shipment from an Asian country. In December, Operation 'Wheelhouse' thwarted a bid to smuggle 234.68 kilograms of hashish in a wooden ship at Dubai Creek, showcasing the vigilance and expertise of Customs inspectors.

Hamid Mohammed, Director of Inland Customs Centres Management, highlighted Dubai Customs' commitment to providing specialized training for inspectors, adhering to global standards in interpreting body language, detecting smugglers, and identifying prohibited substances. Mohammed Abdullah Rashid, Senior Inspection Manager, emphasized their dedication to border protection using qualified personnel and advanced inspection devices.
