Riyadh: Alert customs officers on King Fahad Causeway arrested a man for trying to smuggle liquor under his traditional garment (thobe) from Bahrain into Saudi Arabia.
They frisked him and confiscated 14 bottles of whisky which were taped to his legs and waist.
“The officer first cleared the man along with his car but chased him and frisked him to find bottles of alcohol,” said King Fahad Causeway Authority (KFCA) director general Fahd Dhaifalla Al-Otaibi.
The smuggler was referred to the competent authorities for legal action, reported local Arabic daily Okaz.
