KARACHI: The Model Customs Collectorate, Quetta foiled two smuggling bids and confiscated 200 sacks of fertiliser and 100 bundles of cable wire.
Sources said that Quetta Customs Deputy Collector Jahanzaib Abbasi received information regarding the smuggling of huge quantity of fertilizer to Afghanistan on which he formed an anti-smuggling team to fail the smuggling attempt.
The customs team comprising Inspector Saeed Barohi, Sultan Barohi and others established check post at exit points of the city and started searching of vehicles. The officials intercepted a truck for checking that led to the recovery of 200 sacks of fertiliser, which were being smuggled to Afghanistan.
The officials arrested three accused persons who revealed that smuggling of fertilisers had been suspended after the customs impounded a truck carrying fertilisers. They further said that smuggling has been resumed after a long time that has been busted by the customs again.
During another action, the Quetta Customs recovered more than hundred bundles of cable wire, which was being smuggled to Hyderabad through a passenger bus. Two suspects have been arrested during the raid.
