According to a statement issued on Tuesday, the police became suspicious about his pack of (bodybuilding) food supplements, which he had hidden under his clothes. On examination, they found golden jewellery worth Dh100,000 inside the pack.
During interrogation, the man said he was trying to smuggle the gold as he wanted to avoid paying taxes\duties in his home country, producing bills of payment for the gold to the officers.
The police sent him to the Criminal Investigation Department (CID) of Sharjah Police to investigate the case.
Lt Col Mattar Al Ketbi, Head of Airport Police, called on all residents to cooperate with the governments and police forces here and in their home countries, and refrain from such illegal activities.
