Our S2 Global team at the Albanian border in Kapshticë identified one ton of marijuana in a container with a manifest that listed its contents as bran. The government of Albania stated that this was the largest seizure of marijuana in recent years.
“We are proud of the S2 Global team for identifying a very difficult find,” said S2 Global President, Jonathan Fleming. The site uses an Eagle® M60 for scanning cargo and vehicles, and our image analysts undergo fundamental and recurrent training to keep their skills up to date.
