An Indonesian national who hoarded over 90 cartons of smuggled cigarettes at his residence was ordered to settle more than BND70,000 in fines after pleading guilty to the offence on Tuesday.
The 56-year-old man would have to serve 16 months’ jail in default of payment of the fine.
He was arrested by Customs preventive officers who raided a house at Jalan Singa Menteri, Kuala Belait at 6.41pm on May 25.
