The Sharjah Ports, Customs, and Free Zones Authority successfully thwarted an attempt to smuggle two individuals concealed in the rear of a vehicle into the UAE on Monday.

The vigilant inspection officers, through proactive follow-up and constant vigilance, were able to apprehend the individuals concealed in each car.

A video circulating on X showcased customs officials dismantling the rear bumpers of both cars, ultimately revealing the hidden men within.

This incident underscores the crucial role of advanced inspection technologies and the dedication of customs officials in ensuring the security and integrity of the country’s borders.
