The customs officers discovered the drugs
disguised as auto spare parts when the
passenger's goods were x-ray scanned which
revealed abnormal density in some of the
items.
Growing suspicious, they decided to physically
inspect and dismantle the spare parts only to
find small rolls skillfully concealed around the
air filters.
Upon testing and analysis of the substance
through a narcotics detector, it turned out to be
marijuana totaling 3.7kg. The suspect was
handed over to the relevant authorities for legal
action.
Khalid Ahmed, Senior Manager, Passenger
Operations Terminal 1, said: "Dubai Customs
adopts an integrated series of advanced smart
procedures and technologies to address all
smuggling attempts, in line with its Strategic
Plan 2021-2026. This includes modernisation
and advancement of our inspection systems
and passenger luggage screening equipment,
