Upon careful examination, officials found the marijuana hidden inside shampoo bottles. The total weight of the seized item was determined to be 4.7kgs.
The Customs Authority urged the public to support the national campaign “Kafeh” against smuggling and customs violations by providing information confidentially through the hotline 16500 or via email at kafih@customs.gov.qa.
