Dutch police have arrested four suspects, three of them thought to be British, and seized more than seven million cigarettes destined to be sold illegally in the country, the anti-fraud agency said Friday.
"The cigarettes were found in a warehouse in Harderwijk," Charlotte Slagter, a spokeswoman for the Dutch fiscal intelligence and economic investigation service, told AFP. Slagter could not say where the cigarettes originated from.
The cigarettes' sale would have evaded about 1.4 million euros ($1.8 million) in excise duty due to the Dutch state, the spokeswoman added.
Three of the arrested suspects are believed to be British, while the fourth is a local man from the Harderwijk area, Slagter said.
