A Malaysian driver was arrested on April 15 after attempting to smuggle over 270 cartons of duty-unpaid cigarettes into Singapore.
In a Facebook post on Wednesday (May 6) by the Immigration and Checkpoints Authority (ICA), officers at Woodlands Checkpoint profiled and directed the Malaysia-registered car for enhanced checks.
They found more than 270 cartons and 1,600 packets of duty-unpaid cigarettes hidden in various parts of the vehicle.
The 35-year-old male Malaysian driver was subsequently arrested in connection with the case.
The exhibits and suspect were referred to Singapore Customs for further investigation.
