Bid to smuggle marijuana foiled

Published Updated

KARACHI: Collectorate of Customs (Airports), Karachi, Air Cargo Control Unit (ACCU), has successfully foiled a major attempt to smuggle 2.26 kg marijuana worth Rs 42 million into Pakistan.

During routine scrutiny at the Immediate Clearance Group (ICG), Karachi, customs officials intercepted a suspicious parcel arriving from the United States, FBR said.

The consignment was falsely declared as containing “documents.” Upon thorough examination, the parcel was found to be concealing approximately 2.26 kilograms (gross weight) of Marijuana.

The seized narcotics, deceitfully packed inside a box to evade detection, have an estimated market value of Rs. 42 million. Legal proceedings have been initiated and further investigation is underway.
