A customs inspection using a narcotics detection dog was carried out at the "Shahtakhti" customs checkpoint of the Nakhchivan Main Customs Department on a vehicle transporting a mixed food cargo from Iran to the United Kingdom via transit through Azerbaijan, the department told APA.
As a result, a large quantity of narcotics — 4.5 kilograms of opium — was discovered in a specially constructed hidden compartment beneath the refrigerator in the truck tractor.
An investigation into the incident is underway.
