Guess Who's Smuggling Hash Brownies? | "Customs: Remastered" 4k

The UK border agency is at war with smugglers at ports and airports. Officers in Manchester receive massive quantities of drugs. I mean, that's as high as it gets. Yeah, so you're telling me you've never been in touch. cocaine where do you come from a cigarette? The smuggler becomes aggressive when his stash is confiscated and the officers are confronted with a series of lies in Dover. I promise he has the driver's laptop case. More cigarettes in Manchester. A flight just landed from Jamaica. The sniffer dog is Roddy. operation in search of any trace of cocaine Roddy gives a clear indication about this passenger and officers Liz and Kev intervene to investigate with more than a thousand cocaine seizures a year.

Border officials know that cocaine smugglers come in all shapes and sizes. How long have you? out for a week before it's nice, is this the same bag you took? Yes, officers take passports and swab them for signs of drug use. The truck shows a pretty high pick of cocaine, not the gentleman's passport, so I'll ask him if. has had any contact with drugs, if he has used them, and take it from there just to put some of his passport and see if there are any traces of drugs on him and there are traces of drugs. Has he ever worn anything?

Has he ever smoked marijuana or ever used anything? stronger than that either, I have never had any kind of twisted drugs, never, no, okay, the man clearly says that he has had no contact with drugs, but the officers know from experience not to believe everything they are told . I just found a very small portion of cocaine. I've been looking at the 15's earnings and stuff like that, so it's just a small one, but it's still a trail. Liz's job now is to determine if she is a user or a smuggler. I'm sure you've never used someone in touch. with cocaine, no, okay, I mean, if you've done it, tell me now because it's a lot easier, no, okay, I found a very small trace, see, I've been pushing your clothes and everything, yeah, yeah, it's coming from your clothes, so with a little more pressure.

Suspicious Kev begins to contradict himself: did you ever do drugs at any point, even if it was a long time ago? Yes, well, what have you consumed and how long ago? Well, I don't want to discuss that because it's personal, well, it's relevant to it's not relevant because I'm going to do something that I don't know, the only thing I can do is the traces that I'm getting. Liz then takes a sample from her passenger suitcase and the cocaine find is almost off the scale. Officers are now convinced of the two suspects. You're carrying drugs, what's that at the bottom of your suitcase?

I mean, that's as high as it can go, yeah, yeah, so you're telling me you've never been in contact with cocaine, well I've seen it, I've never done it. I got, we'll show you high cocaine, it's a very, very high, very difficult game from inside your bag, yeah, now if you ever use, I don't mind, I just need to know that I didn't use it, that's what I do . I'm trying to say it, but officers need answers or the search will have to be deeper at the end of the day. I need to know where the options come from if it's definitely not from you using yes, I have something else you might have. something hidden in you or in you said whatever search you want to do oh it's white it's okay if that's why no I said remember to walk straight with the offers and yes it's fair it's fair to comment yes it's okay , but some background checks reveal that Kev's passenger has a criminal record for dealing heroin He supplies heroin in all three are a staff Related drugs dating back 26 years Officers now have proof that at least one of them is lying thanks at Gatwick Airport a courier The shipment has just arrived at the cargo terminal, it is up to border officers to ensure hidden drugs do not reach the streets.

Drug addict dog Megan has been brought in to speed up the search. We're about to pick up some cargo from South America. DHL mail from places. like Columbia, Venezuela, things like that, so I'm waiting until they take all the stuff off the platform and then we'll let it go. The sniffer dog's nose is 10 times more powerful than a human's, but today it is Officer Andrés who detects a suspicious smell uh when I opened the box it seemed to be a slight chemical smell coming from the box it seems to be very heavy this bag that has all these unusual big buttons very suspicious Andrés calls the expert Steve, do you want to leave him? the dog has a sniffer, we are not trying to sniff it out, it wouldn't be very good for health and safety sniffing out smugglers is a job best left to the dogs.

Megan's prompt at the bottom couldn't be clearer. It's a good indication, yes, but there's only one way to know for sure: just make an incision to see if there's anything on these buttons. We've seen it on the buttons here. They tend to put drugs in big buttons like these. Yes, it appears. to be a white powder inside I will do a test just to make sure it appears to have turned blue indicating the presence of cocaine it is another head for the loading team with three bags all covered with huge buttons full of cocaine it is a seizure worth dozens of thousands of pounds, this particular parcel is going to an individual in Spain, so we will inform the Spanish authorities and they will then make a decision as to whether they want to make a controlled delivery to the premises or receive an order to search the premises, take it from there actually, regards mate, in Manchester, officers are still trying to find out why two passengers have shot themselves massively.

High cocaine readings, it's not something we're going to use, we're not going to go tell them. Please this person is doing this. I just need to know why he's chasing you there. That's the only reason I keep asking you. I know you're probably getting sick of me. Okay, you're asking the same questions, but I just need to know why this choice. Is there? That's great, that's my job. I have to do it if I let you out a little bit with all these Chasers to go and there's no explanation my boss is going to tell me, well you know why you did that so that's the only reason.

I keep asking you if the suspect has admitted to prior heroin trafficking convictions, but both suspects insist they have had no recent contact with cocaine. I'm hydrating a lot more from the case than anything else. I mean, I don't know why, um, from below the line and I actually tried, there's nothing that my guys are using with the problem that they've been organizing or anything like that. Liz x-rays her passenger bag again to detect any hidden concealments. You've had it for a long time, man, it's getting really massive hits, that's why I've had the biggest hits for cocaine and, uh, there's nothing there, it doesn't weigh anything, so I just changed these debit cards and it's completely out of scale.

Up high, officials are getting frustrated with evasive responses. When was the last time you consumed cold? Quite a few months ago. I don't remember it well. Okay, Kev's passenger admitted to doing cocaine, but it's Liz's suspect who still says she's never touched drugs. a spike, all the evidence against him, yes, because the dog told you that that I mean, that's the reason we stopped you. I want to make sure you don't have anything with you. We found traces of cocaine in all your luggage. You have denied it. you saw contact with cocaine you travel frequently and the trip was bought by someone else, it's just one of our indicators, so the guys are now going to take themselves to a private room and look for possible causes.

Liz examines her shoes to see if she is a swallower. Traces of drugs would seep into her shoe, but dents on the laces would suggest that she recently handled drugs while she was using, not as lysis. Have you seen that at Oasis they have a problem because I really have huge traces on your laces, there is nothing? It was like a little Trace, kind of like inside your shoes, but outside your laces it's like there were almost all the bars again, it's like there were a lot of things, I mean, well, I mean inside, but like I say Outside of your shoelaces, I've never seen anything like it.

High cords um obviously the concern is your mouth something internally um would you be okay with that, yeah, yeah, people do it, yeah, I don't know, so what's up? How about you? Are you interested? If you are in the test. That? that shows us what my distance is, you're on the test, you know, okay, speed test, oh my urine was tested, yeah, a little bit of cannabis, cannabis, yeah, yeah, it's strong cannabis, yeah, but there is no cocaine. A bewildered Liz has investigated mass cocaine hits as far as she can, without hard evidence, men are free to go about five times before so it's nothing new, but finding cooking options on our shoelaces is new , but I don't know where the helicopter came from.

A cigarette smuggler becomes aggressive in Manchester and approaching officers are confronted with a series of lies in Dover. Manchester Airport is open. A flight just arrived from Pakistan. Border Officer Richard is x-raying bags for excessive quantities of cigarettes. Look at the screens yes. you can see any cigarette on these monitors here there are quite a few in the bag, it will look pretty obvious on a flight like this we are expected to take anywhere from none to 20 bags full of cigarettes or partially full of cigarettes that passengers have a maximum of 200 officers Cigarettes and Borders like ours know not to take anything at face value, there is no particular bag that is specific to one type of contraband, it is any type of bag that is suspicious, we look at all types of bags, already It could be firmer than others, but it could also be quite soft, so it doesn't really matter what type of bag.

Well, we have one here that's more or less full of cigarettes and for people hoping to smuggle tobacco, the X. -ray means there's nowhere to hide one two three four there's at least 800 on that block there one two three four another 800 there are more lined up that way there are more there this is similar not so obvious but it looks like there are cigarettes there too The suitcases go back to the belt as he goes up the stairs to see who will claim the suitcases. Sorry for traveling alone, as quick as I check your bags please, where are you from? of the three suitcases this way, please start with some simple questions.

Here's everything your suitcases have. Have you ever been detained by Customs before Customs has detained us? Well, the way to do that is by answering the questions. Alright. Well, you'll have to answer them. Go and bring your bags to bed. Please officers often clash. Angry passengers and the man seems upset at being detained. The man is already angry but things will only get worse when he finds out, as we will confiscate all of his cigarettes in Dover. The agents have stopped two Bulgarian trucks. Each driver has only allowed 200 cigarettes, but a quick search found more than a thousand in one of the Caps, suspecting more are hidden.

Both trucks will now be searched. This one here is the one with the cigarettes. He has his girlfriend with him. He has been traveling together. The same company as us. I'm going to do this one too because at this location he stated that there were no cigarettes in some cigars. How good is your English? This man lied about not having cigarettes. The other truck driver is convinced that he doesn't have a chef. How many there are? in here cigarettes how many no, no cigarettes, certainly not cigarettes, they promised me, but when you know where to look, the driver's lie is easily exposed, well, we got here, then, big joke, football team, the same place, oh no, seriously, oh, that's a result stuffed into In the booths there are over 3,000 cigarettes, with huge profits to be had.

Drivers use every available space to hide cigarettes. He always lied once he said that he didn't have any cigarettes. You see, we found boxes of 15 of each. Carson has 200, so that's 3,000 in total, you know he lied once, so we continue our search in the taxi unit to see if there are more cigarettes there. Some of this man's efforts to hide the cigarettes from him are ridiculous. You have more here and you still picked up the phone? It's like a little green plastic, so there are more people there. Actually the officers suspect that he has used Heidi's hole before.

Oh gosh, basically all the food on top, just that green plastic on top between the plastic and the cigarettes underneath. Very simple, not very complicated. he simply realizes that he was not stopped and that was almost before, when the two truck drivers lied about not carrying cigarettes, the officers will give him a strict punishment, but because he soon used the unit to smuggle the cigarette and, like me, actually, as punishment, he will lose the cabin unit, the only way to get it back is by attending a fine and how we have arrived at the figure of the fight as we calculate how manycigarettes he has, adding them all up. and then we calculated the tax on these cigarettes what would be the equivalent in the UK for drivers.

It's a costly lesson. Oh, it doesn't go down well in Manchester. Our officer is also dealing with the strong language of his fellow fighter. Do you have any photo identification documents? Can I save them? Can I see them? How long will he wait? Well, what was the purpose of his visit? Okay, I'm going to look inside his suitcases. Did you pack everything yourself? Do you know what's inside? the bags, the clothes in it, okay, your uncle packed it, yeah, okay, you understand you can't bring any control drugs, decent obscene terror across the country, yeah, do you know what your cigarette allowance is ?

Do you know what your cigarette allowance is? Do you know what your assignment is? Do you have cigarettes here? How many have you used? 20. Okay, your allocation is only 200. Okay, so you have 20 sleeves. There are too many. Okay, oh yeah, suddenly the man's mood changes. You work? Excuse me, look, come in my face. I'm going to make these bags. Okay, well, no need to be like that please, with the passenger getting aggressive, on the opposite side, Gary intervenes, yeah, sure, so keep it up and you're fine, it was quite obstructive, no, no, I wouldn't say he's an easy passenger.

It was quite obstructive 200 but since you have not declared them you will not be yes, it is true, but the man will not leave with his allowance once you exceed your alarms you will lose the correct turn, therefore, today you will go home without foreign cigarettes, now Same thing, what am I going to do, okay, we will arrange some paperwork for you and help you continue, while we try to educate the passenger so that he does not make the same mistake again. a receipt says that I have seen 5200 cigarettes yes, I am also giving you a warning letter remember not to bring large quantities of cigarettes there is a copy for your records, wait, I'm done but your copy is still premature there is the original for you yes, Listen, come on, keep walking away, this is information about what you bring and you also have the right to appeal, if you wait two minutes you can get that too, the man is eager to leave, thanks for your time, but if he doesn't want you back to confiscate cigarettes, you will have to watch your step.

We have all kinds of people with all kinds of moods. Some people are quite happy and calm and welcome to our

customs

office. Unfortunately, this thing wasn't one of Those passengers, you know, in Dover, the drivers who swore they didn't have cigarettes have heard right and the chef chef here there are no cigarettes, there are no cigarettes, I promise, I promise, no, Thanks to all the officers, find more than 10,000 cigarettes in the cabin of this devious driver. Sometimes this is a problem because it gives you a pretty long and complicated process because you have to check literally everywhere and you can't trust the drivers to necessarily tell you the truth at any point in the form, but obviously if we did.

For starters, cigarette

smuggling

is a serious crime and both drivers must now pay UK tax on the full amount; Otherwise, their trucks will be confiscated and they will have to walk home. The first driver will be forced to pay almost a thousand pounds on the spot. one of the vehicles has been successfully restored by 985 and the other driver uh Carnival to pay, says he's going to pay tomorrow, therefore it's impounded, he stays in Arkansas when it comes to cigarette

smuggling

, officers don't lose the time, the man will leave without cigarettes and no truck. The cash-strapped driver asked for a ride while he made a frantic call to the foreign bank.

One night together he promised to return in the morning to pay his £1,800 fine. The Bulgarian truck driver returned the next day to pay. Alright. They returned his truck and gave him a stern warning.
