RIYADH: Customs authorities at Riyadh’s King Khalid International Airport (KKIA) have foiled an attempt by a passenger to smuggle nearly a kilogram of heroin into the Kingdom, the Saudi Press Agency said on Saturday.
KKIA Custom chief Sultan Al-Faheed was quoted by SPA as saying the banned drug, weighing 865 grams and contained in 110 capsules, were found inside the passenger’s stomach during a routine inspection.
Al-Faheed said the drugs have been recovered and legal procedures have been taken against the smuggler.
Customs authorities have foiled similar drug smuggling attempts in the country’s airports in the past years.
