HMRC officers swoop on Edmonton cigarette smuggling handover

Two men have been sentenced for their part in a plot to smuggle almost 600,000 cigarettes, worth an estimated £160,000 into the UK. Student Alan Salih, 33, of Bounces Road, Edmonton, and delivery driver Karzan Ahmedi, of Brighton, were sentenced at Wood Green Crown Court.

The pair met in Edmonton, where they drove to a residential street and parked their vehicles back-to-back with the rear doors open.

Her Majesty’s Revenue and Customs officers intercepted the pair and found almost 600,000 cigarettes in the vans.
