An attempt to smuggle 2,800 cartons of duty-unpaid cigarettes into Singapore via a Malaysia-registered truck hauling precast concrete was stopped by ICA officials at Tuas Checkpoint on September 27.
After spotting certain irregularities in the incoming lorry’s look, officers sent it for additional inspection. When they discovered duty-free smokes hidden beneath the lorry’s floorboard, their suspicions were verified.
The case is now under Singapore Customs.
