The smuggler dismantled it into two pieces and hid them in a secret way inside a vehicle. The weapon was seized during the customs inspection of the car at the Abu Samra border port.

The General Authority of Customs called upon all members of society to participate in the national campaign to combat crimes and customs violations, by providing information related to the smuggling of prohibited or restricted goods or tampering with customs documents and invoices and other violations on 16500.
