Hashish and heroin smuggling attempt foiled inside a loudspeaker on the Syrian-Lebanese border

Syria ·

Syria's General Authority for Ports and Customs said it seized 2600 grams of hashish and 17 grams of heroin hidden inside a loudspeaker. The drugs were found during routine inspection of travellers' luggage arriving through the crossing.

Smuggling of narcotics such as hashish and captagon across the Syria-Lebanon border has long been a concern for both governments, which have tightened customs inspections at official crossings.
