Vehicle Seized at Zurbatiya Border for Violating Import Regulations


Zurbatiya: A vehicle was seized at the Zurbatiya border crossing for violating import regulations, leading to a loss of public funds.

The vehicle was carrying transparent plastic containers, which are protected under local regulations. The description of the goods had been altered to avoid customs duties.

The vehicle was then transferred to the Zurbatiya Customs Police Station. Legal action will be pursued against those responsible, with the matter being presented before the investigating judge.
