The National Highways & Motorway Police (NHMP) have intensified their crackdown on smuggling with a major operation on the M-5 Motorway near Uch Sharif. Officers successfully intercepted a suspicious vehicle carrying non-custom-paid goods, highlighting the force’s ongoing commitment to curb illegal trade and protect national revenue.
The Seizure on M-5
During routine surveillance, the Motorway Police flagged down a Suzuki Cultus with tinted windows. Upon a detailed inspection, officers uncovered 1,050 bundles of contraband cigarettes concealed inside. The estimated market value of the seized contraband was in the range of millions of rupees, causing a significant blow to smugglers attempting to exploit national highways for illegal trade.

NHMP Crackdown on Smuggling
This incident is part of NHMP’s larger crackdown against the transportation of non-custom-paid goods on major highways. Over the past year, the Motorway Police have carried out several successful operations, targeting smuggling networks moving contraband items like cigarettes, gutka, and fake-number-plated vehicles. Such recoveries not only prevent tax evasion but also safeguard lawful trade practices.

The seizure on M-5 near Uch Sharif serves as another example of NHMP’s vigilance in combating smuggling. By intercepting vehicles like the Suzuki Cultus with tinted windows and arresting suspects involved in illegal activities, the Motorway Police reaffirm their role in securing Pakistan’s highways and assisting the Customs Anti-Smuggling Cell in curbing the flow of contraband worth millions of rupees.
