SINGAPORE – An attempt to smuggle two swords into Singapore was foiled at the Pasir Panjang Scanning Station on Dec 5.
In a Facebook post on Dec 16, the Immigration and Checkpoints Authority (ICA) said that one of its image analysts noticed anomalies in the scanned image of an inbound cargo container and directed it for further checks.
Officers then uncovered the two swords, which had been declared as toys.
