Serial tobacco smuggler caught sneaking 12,600 cigarettes into Heathrow
A serial tobacco smuggler from Wembley has dodged an immediate prison sentence after being picked up by HM Revenue and Customs (HMRC) at Heathrow Airport. Kamal Sobhi was stopped and arrested on January 8 smuggling 12,600 cigarettes and almost 9.5kg of shisha tobacco through the airport when he arrived on a flight from Beirut, Lebanon. He was charged with tobacco smuggling under the Customs and Excise Management Act 1979 and admitted to the offence at Isleworth Crown Court on Thursday (March 12).
