Alert customs officials seize 28kg of illegal drugs at Hamad International Airport
Two customs officers at the Hamad International Airport (HIA) are getting a lot of praises after they foiled an attempt to smuggle in almost 28kg of illicit drugs into the country.
The two alert officers seized 22.7kg of cannabis and 5kg of marijuana at the HIA, reported Qatar Tribune.
The crime came to lights after an inspector found something suspicious with a carrier, leading to his detention and that of his two accomplices as well. The three criminals had come to Qatar on a direct flight from an Asian country.
The three men, who split the contraband drug into four packets of 8kg, 6kg, 4.7kg and 3.5kg each, tried to smuggle them in hidden pouches of four bags. The secret sections were designed to look like parts of the bags on cursory checks.
Meanwhile, the marijuana seizure was made when a female customs inspector checked a suspicious passenger’s hand bag.
The drug hauls have been reported to the authorities for follow-up procedures.
The Acting Customs Director of Hamad International Airport, Ajab Mansour al Qahtani, praised the inspectors' efforts and alertness that led to the seizures.
Qahtani pointed out that female customs inspectors have been instrumental in detecting a lot of contraband items in recent times.
Greenie FTW!! Vacationing in Qatar (1st time) from California & not being able to bring organic anxiety medication posed a huge problem on day one for a particular person in our group – and still a smaller problem for the rest of us. I’ve never gotten weed from an online forum… seems super sketchy – but I thought I’d try anyways. I e-mailed Greenie ( haha420kush@gmail com ) and within less than ONE HOUR all of our problems were solved. Of course prices were affordable – BUT THE BUD WAS JUST AS GOOD!!! I’m telling you —- strait chronic. IN Qatar! Greenie e-mailed me back ASAP, had a great way of getting me what I needed and even threw in some roll papers and a blunt for good business! So what did I do?? – called him again. Went through the sack another 1 oz time (haha typical) and needed more, so Greenie pulled through yet again. AND WITH MORE ROLL PAPERS!!! Greenie feels like my neighborhood “guy” – trustworthy and professional. I think some posts here are from unreliable vendors trying to rip off people, cuz you can tell this guy isn’t trying to rip anyone off – he’s actually running a legit business. E-MAIL GREENIE ( haha420kush@gmail com ) IF YOU’RE DEBATING IT, cuz I DID & I WAS IRIE IN ONE HOUR!! XD
