Inspectors from Hamad Port and Southern Ports Customs Department have thwarted an attempt to smuggle in various materials concealed inside a water tank.
The operation was conducted in cooperation with the intelligence department of the Anti-Smuggling and Harmful Trade Practices Department at the General Authority Customs.
Upon inspection and examination, secret compartments were discovered in the tank, containing the banned substance “tobacco” and several cigarettes hidden in a clandestine manner, aimed at evading customs and tax duties.
The total weight of the seized materials was approximately 14 tonnes.
