Batha and Al-Hadeetha crossing points on the borders with the United Arab Emirates and Jordan respectively seized on Thursday over 1.5 million riyals of undeclared money and 81,000 narcotics pills. A statement from Saudi Customs said that four separate attempts to smuggle Captogon pills into the Kingdom were foiled at Al-Hadeetha when the drugs were discovered in a suitcase, in two bags hidden inside a smuggler's underpants, strapped to a man's legs, and in the fourth instance hidden inside the dashboard of a car-transporter truck. At Al-Batha, officials seized 1,699,000 Saudi riyals hidden in a truck cabin from a driver who failed to declare the funds. Customs said that they also seized 248 bottles of alcohol hidden inside the chassis of a vehicle attempting to enter the Kingdom.
