Huge tobacco find on Armagh farm sparks ‘soft touch for smugglers’ claim
Political wrangling over the powers of the National Crime Agency operating in Northern Ireland are said to have left the region wide open to smugglers. Almost a tonne of raw leaf tobacco and 10,000 suspected illicit cigarettes were this week seized in raids by Customs officers. The huge tobacco haul was discovered in a vehicle at a farm in south Armagh on Tuesday.
