Five-state blitz on illegal cigs
The Customs Department raided outlets in five states under Ops Outlet 3.0 to crack down on the illegal cigarette trade. The raids were conducted simultaneously on Monday in Johor, Selangor, Federal Territory, Penang and Perak. Sixteen outlets were found to be in possession of illicit cigarettes, including trading the items illegally.
If proven guilty, the business owners can be charged under the Customs Act 1967 which carries stiff penalties including imprisonment.
In Johor, two foreigners believed to be employees were arrested at the business outlets.
