Almost nine million cigarettes hidden inside packages labelled as containing wooden flooring have been seized at a port on the River Humber.
Border Force officers searched a trailer at Immingham Docks which had arrived from the Netherlands on Thursday night.
They found 8,960,000 cigarettes inside 20 wooden pallets.
If undetected, the Border Force estimated the haul would have cost the Treasury £2.5m in unpaid duty and VAT.

No mention of what happened to the driver.
A to B online trailer, it’ll more than likely be an unaccompanied trailer that was shipped over as they generally use UK subbies in the UK.

It’s still early 
Bugger, back to the drawing board ! 
I’m going to check the 12 packs of laminate flooring I have in the hallway 
Shame that the border agency aren’t as bothered about stopping illegals getting in,and there they go again with their unfounded assumptions that the government would of lost out, perish the thought , anything else doesn’t matter it seems, As a result of not going over the water for a while several years ago, and not being able to maintain a supply & buy cheap imported cigs , i just quit them, As there’s no ■■■■■■■ way i was going to pay uk prices
