Frontier Corps North, in collaboration with Customs officials, successfully intercepted a covert attempt to smuggle arms from Afghanistan into Pakistan at the Torkham border.
During a thorough search of two cargo vehicles, authorities uncovered a cache of illegal weapons.
Among the seized items were three M16 rifles, two Beretta pistols, 4000 rounds of AK-47 ammunition, along with 8 bolts and 40 springs for AK-47 rifles.
Additionally, five pistol magazines, 8000 rounds of 9mm pistol ammunition, and a pistol without a barrel were also confiscated.
In a fast response, the driver of the vehicle and the recovered arms were handed over to Customs for further legal proceedings.
Frontier Corps North reaffirmed its commitment to combatting illegal arms smuggling activities, emphasizing their vigilance in thwarting such nefarious attempts. They assured the public that any efforts to smuggle arms across the border would be met with decisive action.
