Cross-border raids target gangsters in £110m cigarettes racket
Twelve tonnes of raw tobacco, two million cigarettes, £50,000 in cash and a tobacco processing plant were seized on this side of the border.
Two highly-trained tobacco and cash detection dogs – Harvey and Meg – helped Irish Revenue officers seize 334,000 ‘Minsk’ and ‘NZ’ brand cigarettes with a retail value of €167,000 (£126,450) in the Republic. Four men and a woman were arrested by HM Revenue and Customs (HMRC) officers backed up by the PSNI as they searched nine addresses in Down, Tyrone and Armagh yesterday in one of the biggest clampdowns of its kind seen here.
