Car search leads to discovery of major haul of smuggled cigarettes

Customs officers seized over three quarters of a million smuggled cigarettes in a raid in the Liberec region on Thursday. The cigarettes either had Ukrainian duty stamps or none at all, said a spokesperson for the north Bohemian customs police. After apprehending a man at the border with over 10,000 cigarettes hidden in his car, the police uncovered almost 40,000 cartons of smuggled cigarettes in a search of his home.
