SINGAPORE – Four Malaysian men were arrested and 3,100 cartons of duty-unpaid cigarettes were seized after an enforcement operation at Pasir Laba heavy vehicle carpark on Nov 13.
Three vehicles – a prime mover with a bowser attached, a truck and a motorcycle – were also seized.
The total duty and goods and services tax evaded amounted to about $335,785, Singapore Customs said in a statement on Nov 27.
The cartons of duty-unpaid cigarettes were found hidden in the parked bowser and a nearby forested area, where the cigarettes were allegedly being packed into carton boxes.
