New tactics smugglers use to snuggle illegal items into countries

Saudi Arabia custom officials posted some of the
various illegal items people have attempted to
smuggle into the country. One of the most
popular items uncovered by officials is alcohol
which is completely banned in Saudi
Arabia.


As seen in the photos, some people have hid
bottles of whiskey in the crevices of their cars in
the hope that the normal-looking exterior is
enough to mask what lies beneath. In the first six
days of January alone, almost 535,000 Captagon
pills were found during a number of different
searches by Saudi customs officers: 414,000 pills
were found in truck tires; 100,000 were concealed
in wooden pallets; and another 10,000 were found
in the lining of a man’s underwear.

into the country, a smuggler wrapped each can in
the Pepsi logo.


Smugglers have even used camels to try and get
their contraband into the country, with Saudi
officials discovering a camel with 115,000
narcotic pills on its back.
