RIYADH: Saudi Arabia’s General Authority of Zakat and Tax said it foiled an attempt to smuggle more than 860 kilograms of hashish into the Kingdom through Al-Wadiah port in the north of Yemen’s Hadramawt governorate.
The authority said the drugs were discovered hidden in a floor cavity when officials inspected a truck.
It added that it continues to work to improve customs procedures for imports and exports to thwart such smuggling attempts, and called on the public to help fight crime and protect Saudi society and the national economy by reporting any suspected illegal activity.
