A 21-year-old man has been
arrested after police seized one-hundred boxes of illegal cigarettes in a
vehicle which were in transit to Durban.
Sergeant Mmako Mophiring said
the cigarettes were found inside tissue paper bundles.
Mophiring said this is the
second arrest of illegal cigarettes being transported on the same road within
three months.
Mophiring said one thing that
made them suspicious was that the 21 year-old driver of the vehicle, had put
the tissue papers bundles behind the back window so that the people would not be
suspicious but the police know their work.
“They removed the tissue
papers and that is when they discovered the cigarettes. The case has been
handed over to the Hawks for investigation.” Mophiring added.
