According to national television reports, these pills are called Captagon locally and are hidden in a batch of oranges entering the port of Jeddah.
According to national television reports, Saudi Arabia’s customs have blocked attempts to smuggle more than 4.5 million amphetamines (locally known as Captagon) into the kingdom. These pills are hidden in a batch of oranges entering through the port of Jeddah.
According to a report by the Arabiya Broadcasting Corporation, the authorities stated that a box of oranges arriving through the port of Jeddah was confiscated after going through customs procedures and X-ray inspection. The image shows a large number of Captagon pills hidden under the fruit box.
The original report did not mention the source of the narcotics.
The authorities added that several people suspected of waiting for the boxes to arrive have been detained.
According to Al Arabiya, the customs authorities stated that their personnel “have hindered the attempts of smugglers and their organized activities”.
Saudi Arabia banned the import of Lebanese products in April, citing an increase in attempts to smuggle drugs from the country.
The Saudi authorities announced on Saturday that 14.4 million amphetamine pills had been seized from Lebanon, hidden in a batch of iron plates. In April, they said they had found 5.3 million such pills in pomegranates shipped from Lebanon.
At the time, the authorities stated that they had arrested four suspects, including two nationals and two residents, one of whom was a Syrian.
