The cigarette smuggler fled

Police arrested a man in his car who found smuggled cigarettes worth eighteen million forints in Tiszabecs – the Szabolcs-Szatmár-Bereg County Police Headquarters announced on Thursday.

Patrols of the Border Police wanted to verify a 22-year-old man driving a car on Wednesday in the outskirts of Uszka, but he did not stop, but drove at high speed. Police in front of Tiszabecs detained the man, who tried to flee after leaving the car.
Police found 12,000 boxes of Hungarian cigarettes without tax and stamps in the vehicle, they wrote. The man and the tobacco were handed over to the staff of the National Tax and Customs Board. (MTI)
