Immigration and Checkpoints Authority (ICA) officers literally tore off the rear bumper of a Malaysia-registered car during checks at Woodlands Checkpoint on Feb 11, but for a necessary cause.
In a video posted on its social media, ICA officers are seen prying off the rear bumper of a white Nissan saloon car, immediately revealing cartons of what appears to be a China-brand cigarette.
As officers continued their checks, more cartons and loose packets of duty-unpaid cigarettes were found in various compartments of the car, including under its bonnet.
ICA said that the Malaysia-registered car was directed for further checks where search and examination officers uncovered more than 200 cartons and 1,000 packets of duty-unpaid cigarettes.
