KINGSTON, Jamaica — Jamaica Customs Contraband Enforcement Team (CET) of the Border Protection Unit says it seized a quantity of illegally imported cigarettes and black mosquito coils in Westmoreland on Saturday, January 10.
The CET said the seizure took place during a joint operation with the Jamaica Constabulary Force (JCF) at a supermarket in Savanna-la-Mar.
A total of 18 cartons and 18 packs of uncustomed cigarettes valued at approximately J$140,000 and 78 packs of black mosquito coils were seized.
The cigarettes seized included Newport, Marlboro and Rothmans brands.
