Customs foil attempt to smuggle shabo hidden inside shipment of spare parts

Doha: The inspectors of the postal consignment department at the air cargo and private customs administration thwarted an attempt to smuggle a small amount of shabo (shabu) into Qatar. 

On Twitter, Customs shared photos of the banned substance during the inspection. The seized shabo, which weighed 1.017 kilograms, was found hidden in a shipment of oil filters for cars.

The customs authority has recently conducted several successive seizures and the customs inspectors undergo intensifying theoretical and field training in the latest technology and methods.
