Smuggling things across borders is a risky thing to do. If you hide the items in your car, the risk goes up even more because your car will be pretty much torn apart when the police find them.
Here’s what that looks like.

Singapore’s Immigration and Checkpoints Authority (ICA) recently posted a video on their TikTok page of a Malaysian-registered car being torn apart at the Woodlands Checkpoint to find boxes and boxes of illegal cigarettes hiding in every crack.
They wrote, “I knew you were trouble”. (An homage to a parody of the Taylor Swift song playing in the video.)
In the TikTok, ICA said that their officers had taken a closer look at a car which happen to be a Malaysian car plate.
They said, “Checks found 222 cartons, 2,170 packs, and 31 sticks of duty-free cigarettes hidden in different parts of the car.”
This includes the bumpers in the front and back, under the hood, under the back seats, and inside the car doors.
When they were done, they were shocked to find a lot of illegal cigarettes in the car.
