SEVEN suspects have been taken into custody for allegedly smuggling cigars and tobacco worth millions of yuan and selling the products online, Shanghai police said yesterday.
Officers said they seized products such as Davidoff and Dunhill cigars worth more than 1.63 million yuan (US$255,000). The products were stored in a warehouse in suburban Qingpu District.
The gang smuggled the products via overseas mail. This year alone, the suspects sold tobacco products for more than 2 million yuan, officers said.
In July, police got a tip as they investigated a local trading company that sold imported cigars and other tobacco products online without a license.
Police said they are still investigating.
