CAIRO – 25 May 2018: The Cairo Criminal Investigation Authority at Cairo Airport intercepted 54 escaped inmates during a security crackdown carried out at the airport.

The security campaign was launched in coordination with all police departments.
Detainees were then taken to the closest police station to the airport, Khalifa Police Station, in preparation for their deportation to their respective police stations to fulfill their sentences.

Four days earlier, the customs department at Borg El Arab International Airport thwarted an attempt to smuggle a spy plane to Kuwait and another one to smuggle unclaimed tattoo equipment to Egypt.

During the completion of the check-in procedures of an Egyptian passenger that was aboard a flight that was bound to Kuwait, customs officers revealed that a remote-controlled plane suited with a camera was shipped within the personal luggage of the passenger.

Also, a passenger aboard a flight coming from the United Arab of Emirates in transit from the United States was found to be carrying large quantities of unclaimed tattoo supplies, including 6,250 silver metal needles and 62 ink bottles.
