The drugs seized by the General Authority of Customs.
Doha: In cooperation with security agencies, the General Authority of Customs managed to seize narcotic substances on a wooden boast coming from an Asian country to Ruwais Port.
An inspector emptied the boat and did a thorough inspection, where he found a sealed package hidden inside a secret storage. The package included 5.7 kilos of hashish and 400 tablets of tramadol.
Sea Customs Department director, Abdulhadi Al Sahli praised the work by the custom employees and said that the port has seen a number of seizures since it has been opened up for import of certain food commodities after the beginning of the blockade on Qatar.
Al Sahli said that legal measures were taken immediately after the shipment was seized.
GAC has recently updated its inspections systems in its different outlets and enhanced the capacities of its employees to understand suspiciousness and body language. Their skills were honed during high level training programmes, resulting in an increase of seizures.
