Kimberley police confiscate illicit tobacco
Police in Kimberley in the Northern Cape have raided 30 businesses, confiscating illicit tobacco with a street value of R50 000. Police spokesperson Sergio Kock says the raids happened in De Beers, Colville, Greenpoint and Beaconsfield. He says fines were also issued to business owners for allegedly contravening the Tobacco Act as well as the Customs and Excise Act.
Kock says: “The illicit cigarettes are usually identified with the absence of the SA diamond stamp…and the cigarettes also have incorrect health warnings and the quit line number is usually also not available on the cigarettes packs.”
