SINGAPORE: Officers from the Singapore Customs and Immigration & Checkpoints Authority have arrested 15 Indonesians in an operation to flush out peddlers of illegal cigarettes at Yew Tee Industrial Estate.
Fourteen of them were illegal immigrants and they have been charged in court.
The foreigners were aged between 25 and 38 years.
Over 1,000 packets of duty-unpaid cigarettes worth S$9,400 were seized in the operation last Tuesday.
The unpaid duty and GST came close to S$8,500.
