Fourteen million illegally imported cigarettes worth an estimated $9 million have been seized in Melbourne’s west.

A six-month Border Force operation led to the discovery of the cigarettes at Derrimut last week and five people have been arrested.

The men, aged 23 to 37, remain in custody and are due to reappear at Melbourne Magistrates Court on November 6.
