ALMOST $400,000 worth of illegally imported and counterfeit cigarettes have been uncovered after a woman was pulled over for random breath test in south Sydney.
POLICE noticed large boxes in the 55-year-old woman’s car when she was stopped in Narwee on Thursday afternoon.
A search of the vehicle uncovered 100 cartons of cigarettes and almost $8000 in cash, and a subsequent search of a Kingsgrove storage shed found another 2000 cartons of alleged illegally imported cigarettes valued at $386,000, police said.
The woman has been charged and was granted bail to appear at Sutherland Local Court next month.
