SINGAPORE: The Immigration and Checkpoints Authority (ICA) foiled three attempts to smuggle duty-unpaid cigarettes into Singapore through Woodlands Checkpoint in one day, seizing 1,000 packs of contraband cigarettes on Sept 28.

In a Facebook post on Nov 16, ICA said routine scans of three motorbikes raised suspicion after officers noticed anomalies in the scans.
