Suspicious Yacht Is Boarded And Searched | Customs

In Dover, officers armed with a giant x-ray tackle large-scale smugglers hoping amongst the thousands of trucks flooding through the port each day. Today the x-ray find a mysterious shadow in a truck full of chipboard, and suspect it cold be hiding millions of illegal cigarettes. And in Cornwall, the crew aboard Searcher are looking for smugglers. At first they find nothing but dolphins, but they then spot a lone yacht coming from the Canaries, a frequent transit point for cocaine, and decide to board it and search for drugs.

In Gatwick and Bristol Airports in England customs agents check baggage and travellers to uphold allowances and prevent illicit activity and substances from entering the UK.

The guy busted with Turkish cigarettes did score a point. The signage was awful. I’m sure he had no intention of declaring them. But he was right. There wasn’t a clear way to declare

[bartduynstee]

ofcourse the guy with the cigs was gonna sell them on, but he does have a point with the "declare"-sign. a passenger would not know where to look and when it is not very obvious, one would simply walk straight past. ofcourse he would not declare them anyway

Humans are so smart until they get caught. Then it's someone else who fooled them. Lol

The guy at the end should have been arrested! Violent reaction to the search. It would have taught him a lesson. Not surprised he had a record for domestic violence.

Why do the custom official allow himself to be disrespected and insulted on the job?! The officials should never condone or tolerate such behavior! These people should be fined and put in their place.

The reason there's a limit on cigarettes is so they can make sure they collect the taxes and has nothing to do with preserving small businesses.

[farrellfletcher]

Just tell him “I am the one customs officer you are dealing with tonight”
and have him arrested. Canada would have locked him up!

[rhondakennedy]

Hello. Great show. Be safe out there people. Love to all

[virgilghinea]

I didn't know that tabac companies are small businesses 😂😂😂😂

[scambodia]

Being on a boat he would be perfectly entitled to be in possession of a knife.

A sure way to be delayed in customs is to tell the officer is that they need to be quick!

[sunflower-ixyl]

in comparison to america, a 3 year jail sentence seems like nothing. people are sent away for 10+ years for far less crimes

[sharonjohnson]

What a wonker the man with the cigarettes from Turkey is, lol.

[obelix]

Finally somebody who doesn't answer questions. His behavior was bad though.

2:45 "there is a red point with the phone...." and if you dont see this and understand the point of this "phone" might bring you in trouble. I hope wont get into this kind of traps anywhere.

"...examined her bags covertly..."
So without her permission then?

Stories Re. Cigarette smuggling are getting really old. But, Can you believe how rude and inappropriate people are? it’s outrageous! The customs workers need protection & I’m surprised they don’t have police officers next to them.

7:50 lesson learned. Don't be a businessman with a house and a swimming pool because the gov't will suspect you of being a criminal. They'll search your luggage, read your diary, take a picture of pages of your diary, keep that information to build a case against you four years. Law enforcement officers can seem a bit too gung ho towards getting that raise and promotion

[spacecadet]

I would agree with the guy with the cigarettes, there was no clear signage on the path that he was travelling that said "Declare here." This in most places would be considered a form of entrapment.

[rickuyeda]

Are you kidding me. Playing dumb won't get you anywhere! Just take them to jail!
