Farwaniya criminal investigators recently foiled an attempt to smuggle in a liquor shipment that arrived at Shuwaikh Port.

Case papers indicate that detectives were first tipped off concerning the shipment, and they closely watched it after allowing it out of the port and followed it all the way to the recipients; two citizens who were arrested red-handed on delivery. The shipment was then returned to Shuwaikh Port where custom inspectors examined and confiscated 1,053 cardboard boxes containing 4,500 liquor bottles.
