General Administration of Customs has foiled two separate attempts to smuggle narcotic substances into Kuwait through postal shipments arriving from the United Kingdom.<\/p>
According to customs officials, the shipments raised suspicion after authorities discovered that the descriptions of the package contents had been deliberately manipulated to conceal the actual materials inside.<\/p>
In the first case, one parcel was labelled as \u201cwax.\u201d After inspection, customs officers found four containers filled with a transparent viscous liquid.<\/p>
Samples from the seized material were sent to the General Department of Criminal Evidence for laboratory testing.<\/p>
Authorities later confirmed that the liquid contained derivatives of a narcotic chemical substance commonly referred to as \u201cchemical liquid,\u201d with the total seized quantity weighing approximately 2,400 grams.<\/p>
Following the discovery, customs officials coordinated with the Customs Investigation and Research Office to complete legal procedures and secure the seized substances.<\/p>
In a separate incident, another shipment arriving from the United Kingdom and declared as \u201cwash\u201d was also flagged during inspection procedures.<\/p>
Customs officers discovered two containers filled with a transparent liquid hidden inside the package. Laboratory examination later confirmed the presence of narcotic derivatives similar to those found in the first shipment.<\/p>
The second seizure weighed approximately 2,200 grams, bringing the combined quantity confiscated in both operations to around 4,600 grams.<\/p>
Authorities said seizure reports were prepared in both cases while investigations continue to identify and apprehend those involved in the smuggling attempts.<\/p>
The General Administration of Customs stressed that inspection teams continue strengthening monitoring procedures for incoming shipments and are intensifying anti smuggling operations through close coordination with relevant security authorities.<\/p>
Officials also reaffirmed Kuwait\u2019s commitment to combating drug trafficking and protecting the country from illegal narcotics entering through postal and shipping channels.<\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
