Cigarette smugglers with gang members form Paddington, Southall and Birmingham, jailed
The gang’s smuggling plot was foiled in October 2012 when officers watched Jan Wojcik from Paddington and Pawel Pasnik from West Bromwich meet with the driver of an HGV on a secluded country lane just off the M25. A west London gang with links to Birmingham and abroad have been jailed for smuggling cigarettes after £105,240 in cash was found in wardrobes and cars. Two men, from Paddington and Birmingham, who tried to hide their criminal cash by stashing it inside their wardrobes, have been jailed for over three years each along with one other member of their cigarette smuggling gang, after an investigation by HM Revenue and Customs (HMRC).
