Attempts to smuggle large quantities of drugs into the country were revealed by officers of the “Oybek” border customs post of the Tashkent regional customs department.
Customs officers and the SSS Border Troops jointly inspected citizen B.U., who entered the customs post with his DAF car. According to the documents, the car loaded with grapes had to transit through the territory of the republic and reach Russia.
While checking the car through the inspection complex, the customs officers came to the conclusion that the car should undergo an in-depth customs inspection.
The suspect’s vehicle was inspected under the special supervision of operational structures at the “Yangiyul” customs post.
When the grapes loaded onto the truck were unloaded, the floor of the trailer was exposed. It was found that hidden compartments were formed on the floor, between which the green glue containers were tightly placed with the help of polyurethane foam.
A total of about 156 kg of drugs were found in 141 plastic containers. It turned out that the lid of the container was sealed with the help of a special resin, so that service dogs do not notice the smell of drugs in the containers.
During the operative event, 149.76 kg of hashish, 4.44 kg of opium and 1.52 kg of heroin were seized as material evidence.
On the above fact, a criminal case has been launched by the customs authorities.
