Sniffer dogs helped the Dubai Customs foil an attempt to smuggle 5 million Captagon pills - concealed in a container of motor spare parts - into the country through Jebel Ali Free Zone.
The illegal shipment was tracked by customs intelligence personnel, who shared the information and images of the shipment through the Regional Intelligence Liaison Office (RILO), according to a top official.
Director of Dubai Customs Ahmed Mahboob Musabih said the container, in which the contraband was hidden, was scanned and examined with K-9 sniffing dogs unit.
"Up to 5 million Captagon pills, weighing 500kg, were seized," he said. "This raises the number of Captagon pills seized since January 2018 to 15 million."
Official records show that Jebel Ali & TECOM Customs Center have made 19 seizures between 2016 and 2019. "These included 225 million narcotic pills and 51kg of other drugs."
Musabih added that the inspectors are always on their toes to thwart attempts to smuggle any illegal contraband. "The sophisticated scanning gadgets also play a major role."
Shuaib Al Suwaidi, Customs Intelligence Director at Dubai Customs, revealed that they track shipments on their way to Dubai's entry points "based on numerous data and intelligence resources".
