QUETTA: Customs authorities on Wednesday seized nearly a tonne of hashish from a truck carrying fruit from Afghanistan, officials said. "We have recovered 900 kilogrammes of hashish concealed in some fruit crates," customs official Hayatullah Durrani said, adding that the driver and another man fled the scene. The truck crossed into Pakistan from Afghanistan through the Chaman border checkpoint and was headed to Karachi, Durrani said. Last week, the Anti-Narcotics Force seized more than two tonnes of morphine as well as shipments of heroin and weapons in Chaghai. |
