Wonders won't end! The man covered Heineken cans with Pepsi stickers. Just to smuggle them into Saudi Arabia- where alcohol consumption is totally banned.
“A truck carrying what first seemed to be normal cans of the soft drink Pepsi was stopped and after the standard process of searching the products, it became clear that the alcoholic beers were covered with Pepsi’s sticker logos,” Al Batha border General Manager Abdulrahman al Mahna was quoted as saying by Al Arabiya News.
Such instances of smuggling alcohol into the Muslim country are not new. A few months ago, officials caught a Saudi man trying to enter Saudi Arabia from Bahrain with 12 bottles of liquor sewed into his trousers. More recently, Saudi officials said they confiscated more than 19,000 bottles of alcoholic drinks hidden in a shipment of rice and tomato paste.
