Kuwaiti Customs officers successfully intercepted an attempt to smuggle nearly 250,000 Lyrica pills, a psychotropic substance, into the country. The narcotics were concealed in shipments falsely declared as clothing, originating from China. During a thorough inspection, customs officials uncovered bags of animal food products, within which the large quantity of Lyrica pills was hidden.
The operation led to the filing of a seizure report, and the necessary customs procedures were promptly initiated to handle the contraband. This discovery underscores the vigilance and effectiveness of Kuwaiti Customs in combating illicit drug trafficking and ensuring the safety of the nation. The authorities continue to enhance their inspection techniques to prevent the entry of such dangerous substances.
