Border intercepts 53,000 cigarette cartons
The Kuwaiti security forces succeeded in thwarting a smuggling attempt of over 53,314 cigarette packs through the Salmi border crossing. The cigarettes were hidden inside cardboard boxes labeled as household tools, but it was uncovered that they contained illicit tobacco products. The shipment was led by a Syrian national working at a customs clearance office, along with an Indian worker who admitted to his involvement under instructions from a Kuwaiti national who has left the country. The confiscated items were found in possession of a farm area in the Al-Abdali region. An investigation is currently underway to determine the source of the tobacco products and to take the necessary legal actions against those involved, as part of the ministry's efforts to combat smuggling operations and protect national security.
