On The Hunt For Drug Smugglers And Illegal Goods | Best Of Customs | Real Responders

- Inside a UK airport, a female passenger is caught smuggling in cigarettes more than the legal allowance. The suspect pretends to not know of the allowance but later admits she is a repeat offender in this crime. Elsewhere, custom officers stop passengers with suspicious baggage. A swipe of their belongings shows high traces of drugs. The officers must locate the drugs before they can charge the passengers with a crime.
At airports in England, customs agents check suspicious baggages and odd travellers to prevent illicit activity and substances from entering the UK. Officers pick out nervous passengers, and believing them to be drug mules, scan them for drugs. Sniffer dogs pick out illegal packages.

I love the NO-NONSENSE approach on how you deal with these people. Keep up the good work and be safe!!
I have no stake in this, I am not a world traveler. I rarely leave my home due to illness. That being said, the one small red phone on a support pillar versus a huge “Nothing to Declare” point does definitely seem like a a trap. I say this having watched these going back to shortly after the Millennium, and they still haven’t changed it at UK, it is a trap, they don’t want you to declare or they would have made it far more visible. Exhausted travelers aren’t going to be alert enough to see the phone, and if they did, they would assume a red phone was reserved for security purposes, red being an indication not to touch.
I love when they say there's a sign, and then the camera zooms in as far as it can into the 8 inch by 10 inch placard on the wall.
I don't travel either but I definitely agree with you, I've seen the red phone argument been done in several airports on this show and I agree with the passengers, it's ridiculous and definitely a trap.
To be honest, there is no excuse, the guy could have asked an officer “Where can I declare the over 4K tobacco I got over the legal limit” cos by now, everyone knows it’s 200, you can ask on the airport before flying, you can ask also if you’re not sure when you land, making visible or not, makes no exception as they should know they have to declare the goods. As someone that has to fly for work, everyday, I heard this excuses in the airport, even us that we sell Duty free we tell the passengers about the limit, and some of them buy 2-3 extra 200 packages saying they already know
If the same small sign read “Come and claim your GST REFUND worth $1000” there would be a stampede. People may not see the red phone but they can ask an officer. We are all accountable for our actions.
Sorry. But you get the declaration cards on the plane and if you are honest and fill them out you will be fine IF YOU DON'T LIE. Too many trying to get away with stuff they know full well they should have declared. They act like they are naive which they are NOT.
Not going to lie. These customs officers are very generous with those bringing in cigarettes more than they are allowed. Most customs will literally take away all of the cigarettes and not allow them to take what is allowed by law.
there is a line between what constitutes an amount for seizure and an amount just in excess. In another episode a Pakistan Air employee brought a whole block of cigarettes and lost the lot.
Last month I went to corby . I remembered that I had 10 cigs in my backpack after buying a 200 duty free . I went red line to explain .
So fun to be honest , my half pack had a tax sticker on it 😂. They thanked me and I was on my way . Reel Don why do people lie ? Peace my brother
Yeah. That first couple, I figured it up and if they each smoked 5 packs a day between them, it was like 68 days of cigarettes. I'm pretty sure the shelf life of cigarettes isn't that long. Probably weren't selling them like to general public-- likely buying for a few friends and family.
Those who claim they smoke 100 cigarettes a day, to justify their huge amounts should under go a lung screening.
i smoke 2 packs a day when i am drinking it can go to 3
Not to be rude or anything but why do you care?
Theres 24 hours in a day, most people go to bed around 10 pm, waking up at 6 am. Now youve only got 16 hours of waking. Lets smoke 100 in that 16 hours... youre smoking almost 7 cigarettes an hour. @MonariJoshua26
@@caseybarnes4221 that’s possible
So everyblack person is bringing in drugs
The elderly couple who had a huge amount of tobacco acted ridiculously. The man reminded me of my seven year old nephew.
It’s the “you are intimidating me…. Little girl” in a patronising manner. No shame when they were clearly caught
Yeah, he had me scratching my head. 😂😂
The man was somewhat justified for the way he acted. I don’t condone him for talking the way he did but his frustrations was well founded. Some of the reasons they had to seize the goods were all subjective and not based on facts. Unless he didn’t pay the taxes for the tobacco then that’s on him if it all got seized.
The UK people are so polite it drives me crazy..lol
The UK custom officers are so polite and in lack of firm communication training it drives me crazy.

😂😂😂😂
The 65 year old tobacco pouch smuggler is such a bully! I wish he could have been charged with a crime for the smuggling, not just denied tobacco
What’s is wrong with you punishing old people for something that’s grown out of the ground for hundreds of years I swear prohabition has brain washed you fools into thinking it actually works when it really doesn’t lmao but keep dreaming like it does
First of all. She was the one who was ill mannered. All he did was correct her and she got offended. Also her reasons to seize the tobacco was subjective since she asked him to roll one and he didn’t want to do it. Not everyone rolls their tobacco. But I will say he should have been a bit more gentlemen like but older people tend to have that attitude.
While you are arguing over tobacco a person has overdosed on drugs and a person was murdered over drugs or was murdered by a drug user? .
Now you need to ask yourself how many drug smugglers got away because they were busy with mom.and pop tobacco smuggler that doesn't hurt anyone but the government pockets?
Maybe the royals can do with a pay cut.
😊😊
500 per week is 70 per day is 3.5 packs a day. Yeah, right. Of course with Brexit the limit I believe is now 200 cigarettes.
if we assume she sleeps 8 hours a day. then still has 70 per day. that's nearly 4.5 cigarettes per hour. or roughly 1 cigarette every 15 minutes lol
@@swNapoleon16you think 1 every 15 minutes is a lot?you haven't seen chain smokers have you?
@@Maruzzela-l1u I don't see "I think that's a lot" stated in my above comment? do you?
MY comment is doing math based on the numbers to make a statement about how many cigarette's she'd have. It's math, not an opinion
Im ashamed but i do smoke quite a lot so i smoke a pack one day of heets, its around 600 a month and i would love to buy it for cheaper for sure, a pack of heets is 6€ here but we are the most corrupted country in Europe and also a really poor country
@@eszterpinter6339 A pack of smokes here is about $ 15 Canadian (10 Euros), for 20 of them. Mostly taxes. A lot of people go to the Reserves (Native Peoples / Indian Reservations) and get a pack from $3/2Eu and up (based upon $30/20 Eu for a carton of 10 packs). 200 smokes in a plastic sandwich bag called "rollies") are about $15/10Eu a bag. These are for the brands made on the Reserves. Illegal to buy them and take them off of the Reserves but the lines of cars in and out goes on all day.
That girl should in no way accommodated the guy arguing. I would have simply said "It's the law and you broker it!" Here's your fine.
Love this show
10.000 cigaretes in an entire ship😂
You need sniffer dogs on your boats, they'll find cigarettes and drugs!!!!
the sea tends to mess with their sniffing abilities. The boats have to be docked first
Who are u
Noo then how will they get thier cigs and drugs still 😂 can’t eliminate all routes lmao but no seriously the sea would make the integrity questionable for the dogs it would affect their smell as the other person just said

Dry snitching
No gloves is insane to me 😬
I'm 50/50 on gloves, ya can feel better without gloves n possibly stay safer this way, but at the same time no gloves means some stuff will absorb through the skin.
So they could possibly be fine without gloves as long as they just wash their hands. Seems depending on the case they did use gloves at times n didn't other times
Instead of destroying the cigsand tobacco, they should sell them and put the money toward their mental health facilities, homelessness. They could sell them in there charity shops and put the money toward worth while charities. The money would be huge.
I don't think they really destroy the stuff.
Thats what I thought too
They keep it I’m sure and distribute it amongst themselves and other government officials
If they distribute the products and someone becomes ill or dies after using the product, they can be liable
Liable meaning they can be sued
If customs officer's don't follow their own laws regarding the amount of cigarettes allowed without
fining or taking them to be
destroyed then why? have
laws period. Don't give people chances! They'll only
do it again.
I love to watch your show! You guys are doing a awesome job!!!🥰
As there are only seven days a week, how can she smoke 500 a week. For her to smoke 50/60 a day she would
need ten days a week.
My father was a seaman when he was young and he was a smoker. When they were counting the cigarettes in that first cabinet my brain went 'Pfft, those are the cigarettes for all the crew on the ship? Well, my father could smoke that amount between Turkey and Cornwall all on his own.' Though he was no longer going to sea by the time I was born that man was a chain smoker like you wouldn't believe. Two to three packs a day probably. Two hundred cigarette allowance? That wasn't even a week's worth for my father.
Flashing a lifestyle that doesn’t match your income can raise a brow!
Thats why Skylar had a FIT when Walt bought matching hot cars for himself & Flynn!! And everyone dogged Skylar.. she was so loyal to Walt & IMO he never fully appreciated it . (Breaking Bad fans will get the comment.. lol )Have an A1 Day!

That search that strip search would traumatize me, cannot imagine . Nothing is worth that. Great catch on Jones, stopping that drug coming into the country
Thank you for your service appreciate it very appreciated it ❤😊❤😊❤😊
In the 1960’s my neighbor visited Baja a lot in his younger years, he remembers some bales of seawaterlogged weed washing ashore
its crazy how its the sweet nice ladys are the drug smuggle dont trust anyone
That's the point 😂
That hashish looked so good though
Thank you for keeping cannibus off the streets. Forcing me to walk half a block to a dispensary
Seeing as street weed is commonly laced with fentanyl I’m sure these men and women would say you’re very welcome
Hahaha 😂
@@mightymarshathat’s a myth it’s not it’s really not very common I’m certain someone is actually doing that but it’s not common like people think
TAXES
Lmfao😂
50 or 60 a day that's impossible
I used to smoke 2- 2 1/2 packs a day. That was 45 cigs i used to 🚬 a day
No it's not impossible
two packs is 40. People who can smoke at work probably do more
My grandfather smoked 4 packs per day .th real question however is why ppl smuggle them .the tax is insane ,UK has the most expensive cigarettes it's ridiculous They rip ppl off
My bro works for himself and he smokes close to 3 a day that’s 60 and he doesn’t smoke while he eats so minus 3 meals a day and showering /sleeping a tweaker may smoke 60-80 a day easily especially on a meth binge or coke binge or a depressive manic person in crisis up for days at a time even sometime a week without sleep then there’s the chronic insomniacs who sleep 3 hrs a day and chain smoke …
I’m sure not all drivers know there’s an illegal load .. how awful for the innocent driver . How do you screen who ya drive for … yikes
Its not always even just who they drive for. They have to have special locks and ties on the back of trucks to show they weren't tampered with because criminals will sneak stuff inside and then tell their contact across the boarder what truck they need to get it out of. It can be SUPER dangerous for the driver because they usually will go to whatever lengths necessary to get their products back if they can't sneak it off of the trucks.
The custom officers are driving me crazy being apologetic and saying they're sorry to every other smuggler.
There just doing their job. Don’t you do your job to the best of your ability
All this for some cigarettes 😂😂😂
remember when sputnik and soap bars was a thing
Yeah, no one smokes every three minutes they are awake.
I ❤ This Show!
Bullies never win! That old man was horrible !!!!
500 cigarettes a week, dang. She is never without a cigarette in her hand.
They consider that small boat a yacht.
Anyone would be nuts to believe that they actually destroy all of the cigarettes and tobacco seized. It goes right back on the shelf for resell.
Doing all of that paperwork just to keep letting reoffending travelers go and burn the goods? Yeah. Ok.
right
Uh good point ...it seemed weird to me to that they just seized and let go
The guy that went over 40 days with cocaine is lucky to be alive.
There needs to be some legal action taken over that stupid sign. It is designed to entrap people. They should not be able to do that.
That one lady officer talking about the cannabis smuggler from Belgium, yeah she’s cross eyed whole time but the camera angle definitely does not allow you to see that. I was wondering why she got a different type of camera angle during her time on, but yeah im not hating just amazed at what cameras can do and convince!
Nothing to declare. Those signs are stupid. Give them paper. Then again buying so many is stupid, you must have an idea.
Three years conviction? You gotta va kidding- - that isnothing and the probably got out much earlier! Were there fines?why bother? What with all the costs to prosecute- government loses!
some would call that enforcing the law.
9:22: I bet "Indiana Bill" is proud...
Chasing petty criminals instructed by lagendary criminals
Man she didn’t watch the movie-Casino at all did she lolol first thing they tell u is don’t write nothing down!!!! No books no notes nothing
Searching a boat and seizing a few cartons of cigarettes seems so cheesy. Go after the drug smugglers and just leave the crew have their cigarettes.
Do they check every truck that goes through or is it just a random check? If so, a lot of trucks must get through with drugs and cigarettes, right
People stop if are rude & disrespectful to officers & police should pay penalty . After all they are doing their job & should not be exposed constantly to bad mouthing etc.
TICK OFF EVERY BOX ON THE DECLARATION CARD (AVOID HASSLES).
I ALSO WEAR A NECK CARD THAT SAYS I AM DEAF!
Why don’t they use dogs? It would be faster than having to unload everything!
dogs only indicate certain things, you need visual confirmation
They should sell all the cigarettes that they get and instead of burning them they should at least donate them to homeless ciggy tokers
How can one prove they destroy anything to begin with
If people don’t follow the rules, charge them
In the age of the Internet no one should be pleading ignorance of the rules on cigarettes, food and other items. If in doubt go online and see what the rules are to avoid confiscation, high fees and headaches.
Did he say you lose ENTHUSIASM thats a strong word
It is (was) absurd that the law did not state specific limits on the amount of tobacco. "Personal use" is a standard that can never be demonstrated. It would be very easy to simply impose a limit of 200 cigarettes, 1,000, 10,000, whatever.
the limit for importation from non EU countries (and territories like the Canaries) is 200. There is an actual limit stated.
Always Google TSA before traveling across borders. 200 is the limit for most countries.
The two old gits at 1:11:0 ARE criminals!
2 or 4 bars in the bin for sure
27:48 Well we see where the son gets his attitude from.
Love Lady Ann
I just want to tell the angry man with the cigarettes that she picked him out of the crowd and that she just doesn't like him and that she picked on him because he looked that dumb😂
It's not nice for a husband blaming and exposing his wife hubbies like that in public places.
I thought it was BS that they found she was not a smuggler but yet they sent her back. Made me want to believe what the husband was accusing that officer of.
My cousin once tried to save a few bucks and bought some non EU grown tobacco only to find out that it was contaminated with cheap cologne and broken dreams..
It's just not worth it folks..
A lot of trouble goes into monitoring how many cigarettes come into the country. They give the excuse of protecting small businesses. I don’t believe that is correct. What is behind this cigarette confiscation priority? I also believe the small red phone on the pillar is not a fair warning. It is a trap.
50 cigarettes a day gaaahhh dayummmmm😂😂😂 I only do like 5 😢
there is NO WAY. this lady thinks that he will NOT go for another X IN THAT FUNKY LIL BOOK- if she takes him to a WHOLE NEW COUNTRY!! THATS THE POINT OF IT?!!? ohhh my god she is sooo far gone-
Damn, how much do these people smoke over there?
50 or 60 a day3 packs that’s crazy
American rednecks smoke that
American tweakers do too lmao

The real question is why ppl want to smuggle cigaretes .Tobacco demand is what is called unelastic.meaning a smoker will smoke no matter how much you raise the price up to a point. The poorer the country the less expensive the cigarettes but they are the exact same quality its only the taxes that raise the price to astronomic levels and the question is how come ppl in US dont feel ripped of by their own government
oh we do
Unbelievable that they are doing all this for cigarettes...😮 it's just crazy to me I guess because I live in the US we don't have those problems here. Wow😮 So 200 is one carton is that what I'm understanding 🤔 and I don't know 🤔🤔
"The illegal tobacco industry robs the crown of 2 billion per year" It's just greed, they slap their wrist and send them on their way. Even 2 weeks later people repeat smuggle in bulk.
It's worst here. Each state has a seal for their tobacco and you do have limits.😊
@@wisernowthanlaterwht do you mean? You can't go from state to state ?
@@Maruzzela-l1u There are set limits that you can buy when crossing state lines. This is to discourage retailers from getting an excessive amount of the product cheaper. That's the purpose for the state seal being placed on the cigs.
She smokes 50 to 60 cigarettes a day???
I don't understand why they destroy the cigarettes, why don't they just give them to local businesses & donate the money to charity or something??? They got them for free from the smugglers, seems they would want to earn the revenue from them. Sounds like a better idea to me
give it to local businesses? free goods for them, how nice! Let's distribute the narcotics and untaxed booze as well then?
This must be an old show?
Wow.. how much is 2 million cigs on the streets there? Geez
2 million times 13 pounds is?

500 cigs a week? really
Im glad that I live in the US;so, I dont have to declare anything!!!
I have something to declare this country is a f****** mess

Yes you DO need to declare things, even from state to state! You're not allowed to carry certain fruits or animals. Even with car travel this is done
you actually do.
200 doesn’t seem like very many honestly that’s a low amount it seems like bc that’s only 10 packs
The blonde customs officer is soooo hot
if the cigarettes weren't so overpriced in the first place smuggling wouldn't be a problem. just saying

Don't judge people by your own low standards.
@@jlw184 you're absolutely right alcohol has a positive effect on society. Nobody has any problem with drunk drivers killing people there's not organizations like madd AA. And then in California we have legal marijuana as soon as it happened. All crime went down across the board. Fact. Look it up for yourself if you don't believe me. Normal sponsored the advertising campaign showing the statistics on billboards all over Los Angeles. Terrible cannabis and my stupid opinions. You sure showed little uneducated me.😁

These may be older shows but Cigarettes should be left alone! So our Police force around the world can focus on drug , child and human TRAFFICKING !
Let them have the cigarettes and focus more on the drugs and foods...
No way! Smuggling is smuggling and masses of money is lost to uk by cigarette tax avoidance.
I think the point was the crew was moving the cigarettes around trying to confuse the customs officer, it was obstruction so they took the cigs to make a point.
Cigarettes might have drugs too by the way
It's really not the fact that they are cigarettes, it's the avoiding paying the TAXES per pack or carton. That's a LOT of revenue
it's tax evasion. The drugs and foods are not normally taxed

Know that if you are black coming from or arriving from anywhere you will be singled out and stripped searched, especially if you properly declare nothing. So Sad the arian customs officers so overtly racist!
