Saudi customs inspectors seized nearly 126,000 tobacco bags hidden in a truck which tried to cross into the Gulf kingdom from nearby Kuwait.

Newspapers said the inspectors at Alkhafji border point searched the truck after suspecting the driver was transporting illegal items.

“More than 126,000 hooka tobacco bags were found hidden at the bottom of the truck which tried to smuggle them into the kingdom,” Ajel daily said.
