The Immigration and Checkpoints Authority (ICA) foiled an attempt to smuggle 3,000 cartons of duty-unpaid cigarettes into Singapore via a Malaysia-registered lorry, according to a Facebook post on July 7.<\/p>\n
In the post, ICA said search and examination officers at Tuas Checkpoint directed a lorry for enhanced checks and found duty-unpaid cigarettes within the cargo consignment on June 26.<\/p>\n
ICA officers seized the cigarettes and arrested the 40-year-old male Malaysian driver in connection with the case.\u00a0<\/p>\n
The suspect and all exhibits have been referred to Singapore Customs for further investigation.<\/p>\n
ICA reaffirmed its commitment to “facilitating trade and travel while keeping Singapore\u2019s borders safe and secure”.<\/p>\n
