The offender has hidden chewing tobacco around the car, hoping that it would go through our customs. He thought wrong!
A total of 4510 sachets of chewing tobacco was found inside.
“Sachets of chewing tobacco were concealed in almost every part of the car – back seat, rear bumper, skirting, spare tyre and side panels. On 9 Aug, ICA officers detected 4,510 sachets of chewing tobacco hidden in a Malaysia-registered car when the 25-year-old lone male Malaysian driver arrived at Woodlands checkpoint. The case was referred to the Health Sciences Authority.”
“Our borders are our first line of defence in safeguarding Singapore’s security. The ICA will continue to conduct security checks on passengers and vehicles at the checkpoints to prevent attempts to smuggle in undesirable persons, drugs, weapons, explosives and other contrabands.”
