The authority asks motorists to be 'extra cautious'
The Dubai Customs’ Passenger Operations Department made 1,037 confiscations in the first half of 2014, marking a growth of 23 per cent over the 843 seizures made during the same period last year.
The seized items include narcotic drugs, prohibited and restricted substances, fake documents, and arms and accessories.
