Two men who tried to enter Sharjah illegally were caught at the border after X-ray scanners showed them hiding under the trunk of two SUVs.

The Sharjah Ports, Customs and Free Zones Authority posted a video of officers breaking open the rear bumpers of the SUVs to find the men hiding there.

Customs officers said the men did not have any documents. They have been referred to relevant authorities for legal action, along with the drivers of the vehicles. Watch the video here:

“The UAE’s considerable economic and developmental progress contributes to this threat, making the country a target for a segment of people,” said Mohammed Ibrahim Al Raisi, director of Terminals and Border Points Affairs at SPCFZA.
