Mohammed Ibrahim Al Raisi, the director of Terminals and Border Points Affairs at SPCFZA, expressed the authority’s top concern regarding infiltration, emphasizing that the nation’s progress makes it an attractive target for specific individuals.

A video shared by the SPCFZA reveals the meticulous efforts of customs officers as they break open the rear bumpers of the vehicles involved in the smuggling attempt.

 

Inside the cramped 2-foot boxes concealed beneath the vehicles, the infiltrators were discovered tightly squeezed, with barely any space to move around.
