The man had covered the Heineken beer cans with pepsi labels
and was caught as he attempted to cross the Al Batha border into Saudi Arabia,
when border control officers noticed something suspicious about his cargo. According to our sources, the man was allegedly
planning to take the beer into Saudi Arabia, where alcohol is prohibited.
Al Batha border General Manager, Abdulrahman al-Mahna said:
"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."
