According to Qudah, these falcons
were found in a temporary sedated state and completely concealed within the
vehicle’s fuel tank. The authorities promptly handed them over to the Royal Society for the Conservation of Nature (RSCN) and referred the individuals
involved to the relevant legal authorities, Al-Mamlaka TV reported.
On another front, JCD officers at
the Zarqa Free Zone Customs Center intercepted 10,000 packages worth of
e-cigarette flavorings. Additionally, they seized approximately 18,000
counterfeit and tampered e-cigarettes and hookahs during a meticulous inspection.
These prohibited items were hidden within various vehicle spare parts using
sophisticated techniques to make them difficult to detect.
Qudah reiterated the JCD's commitment to working with all
security authorities to tackle unlawful activity and harmful drugs in all
forms. These measures are critical to protecting residents' health and the
national economy. He praised customs officials for their high level of
competence and significant efforts in dealing with numerous unusual instances.
The JCD encourages all citizens to quickly report customs
infractions or smuggling situations by dialing the Customs Department
Anti-Smuggling Operations Center's toll-free hotline (105).
