215 liquor bottles seized at UAE border
Customs men at a UAE border point near Saudi Arabia and Qatar seized 215 liquor bottles concealed inside a truck and destined for outside the country.
Customs officials said inspectors at Ghuweifat border point suspected a truck that was leaving the UAE and asked its driver to go through the electronic detection section.
The system revealed 216 liquor bottles were concealed inside the truck’s tool kit and destined for a nearby country, they said.
They did not identify that country but the UAE had seized liquor destined for conservative Saudi Arabia many times over the past years. The shipment busted this week came days before the new year celebrations.
