KUWAIT CITY, Aug 15: The General Administration of Customs has foiled an attempt to smuggle 35 cartons of cigarettes concealed inside a vehicle’s interior at the Al-Salmi border crossing. During departure procedures for a vehicle driven by a Saudi national, a customs inspector grew suspicious due to the driver’s record of a previous violation at another port. Acting on this suspicion, inspectors carried out a meticulous search of the vehicle. The inspection uncovered 35 cartons of cigarettes hidden within the car’s interior, packed in a professional manner that made detection difficult.
