RIYADH — Al-Haditha Customs has foiled an attempt to smuggle 413,450 amphetamine pills into the Kingdom, discovering the narcotics concealed within a commercial shipment arriving through the northern land port.

Spokesperson of the Zakat, Tax and Customs Authority (ZATCA) Hamoud Al-Harbi stated that during standard inspection procedures of an incoming truck at Al-Haditha port, officers uncovered the pills hidden inside a consignment of canned fava beans.

Al-Harbi affirmed that ZATCA continues to enforce strict customs oversight across all land, sea, and air ports to safeguard society and counter smuggling attempts, working in close coordination with the Ministry of Interior and the General Directorate of Narcotics Control.

He also called on the public to support anti-smuggling efforts and protect society and the national economy by reporting smuggling crimes or violations of the Unified Customs Law via the dedicated security hotline 1910, the international number 009661910, or by email [email protected]. “All reports are treated with strict confidentiality and whistleblowers receive financial rewards for verified information,” he added.
