Tobacco smugglers downsize to dodge Customs officers
The smugglers are bringing in consignments in vans and small trucks rather than relying on containers.

Many of the ant smugglers arrive here on flights from Eastern Europe where the scam in illegal goods is being masterminded by organised crime gangs.
