ICA officers pry open undercarriage of Malaysia bus to find duty-unpaid cigarettes, Singapore News


Immigration and Checkpoints Authority (ICA) officers had to bring out their crowbars yet again as they pried open the undercarriage of another Malaysia-registered bus during an enhanced inspection at Woodlands Checkpoint last Tuesday (May 26).

The latest incident comes barely two weeks after another Malaysia-registered bus hid more than 3,200 cartons of duty-unpaid cigarettes in various compartments, including under the bus’ floorboard.

In a video posted on social media, ICA officers are seen in prone position within the bus’ luggage compartment inspecting what appears to be a welded panel with small openings seen at a section of the joint area. 

Officers then used a crowbar to tear apart panels, revealing several cartons of duty-unpaid cigarettes tucked deep within. 

Lashing straps are then used to create a “hook” to pull out cartons of duty-unpaid cigarettes which were bundled together.
