in upwards and in our airports the UK Border Agency is fighting a constant battle against smugglers arresting you coming up a grandmother loses her cool have good suspect package is family no laptop stub out the couple's plan to make a quick buck beware the cigarette restrictions from gran canaria I can I can tell by the face DNA level by traces of cocaine I'm counting Gatwick the minute that you mention the drugs he was not happy at all so in a transport of apples job [Music] a gap with airports of swatches just arrived Basia suitcases from apply to a checked by sniffer dogs before passengers collectively examined the female hasn't it from the flight as wax and suspicion after passing through immigration she was seen changing her clothes in the toilets so UK Border Agency officer George de stopped never question she actually changed outfits from when I saw down by immigration when she was getting her passport swiped when talking to her in the channels she actually said dates because she had a long journey and she had some sake closer to need to change out as a suspicious activity normally people would just wait [Music] when she went upstairs I noticed that she had a carry-on holder which sometimes they can actually sneak drugs through their holes the whole doll and its contents are taken away to be x-rayed officers will be looking for anything sealants George continues his search of government secrets the whole door gets the all-clear but the woman's laptop looks decidedly sucessor on the it trace uneven as it goes and it shows that there may be something inside yes with concerns there may be drugs hidden in the laptop it's taken away to a workshop to be properly assessed hey what happens yeah we've got clear image on it it might seem brutal but the only way to find out if it does contain anything illegal is to break it open it looks like their hunch was right officers discover a package they suspect to be drugs stuffed inside the laptop a simple test will be able to confirm their suspicions at Birmingham Airport it's the start of a busy evening a flight has just come in from Gran Canaria an officer might the scanning suitcases for excessive quantities of cigarettes we're x-ray in the baggage who this fella here lookin primarily for cigarette in the tobacco there is a chance we may find offensive weapons such as technology or throwing stars and things like that passengers arriving back from Gran Canaria have a strict allowance of just 200 cigarettes okay lots of square shapes in that may may indicate tobacco 11 I built it up in a moment having found a large quantity of cigarettes on the x-ray Mike will be keen to ask the owner of the suitcases a few questions a man in shorts and a blue jumper collects one of the bags from the luggage carousel and as he proceeds through them nothing to declare Channel Mike steps in to intercept him oh that guy should stop over this way a second to come over to the bench for we have a key passports this got shopping anyone else not dropping them anywhere else no just been a family holidays it yeah yeah where to okay who thing was it books in who actually did the booking with anyone else all right so you would see that you were traveling with these people yeah well no now this say if you travel with anyone else you said that's not a problem okay yeah you know what you can't bring in drugs guns knives weapons a piece about that yeah you wear the cigarette restrictions from Grant area I can tell by the face okay not sure okay tell me do you know how many you're like to have no 201 sleeve one packet we gone bust to intercepts I guess you better have a look Renee the man confesses to being the way yo Mays allowance how are they for [Music] fair enough appreciate your honesty mate much time to be caught first time you think all first time you've done it last time about your first time or not going to be with three suitcases stuffed to the brim demand be arrested back at Gatwick officers are about to run tests on our package they suspect to be cocaine and are found in a woman's laptop we've pulled a package out from behind the screen all you so now splitting it take a new phone call which we can test on this cocaine reagent here so which will give us indications what type of drug it is the reagent will turn hello if the substance is cocaine [Music] anything with a positive identification for cocaine the news is now broken to the woman so time is 21 I do not have the same you don't have to say anything but it may harm your defense and do not mention when questioned something which you later life as she's led off for further questioning officers take this opportunity to use the cocaine as a training aid the sniffer dogs we try to educate the dogs on life with war from live concealments because we can't replicate that they've spent a lot of effort to sulphide that concern it's not laptop we just can't do that with our training samples the other dogs like some learning coats just shot right up with the game now well and truly up the woman's attitude begins to change she may be laughing now at all that a waiter is an empty cell officers stay with a woman from her belongings had checked in she's informed of her rights [Music] meanwhile George inspects the cocaine concealment burger there's a lot of work which has gone into this this would be actually considered the deep concealment for a rudimentary way of trying to do supposed disguise at Foreman x-ray was by covering it in foil obviously it hasn't worked as the woman is checked into herself she starts to vent her frustration assistants me there's no you need anything else she's getting a bit upset now when she was stopped even when the hawkers computo it's been actuated of it she was quite calm but everyone's different everyone reacts in different ways so there is no way you can swallow drugs for who is it they come in all shapes and sizes one thing left to find out is the weight of the drugs it's coming in around about five hundred and thirty grams so depending on its purity it could actually be quite substantial with an estimated value of twenty five thousand pounds it's been a very successful day for the officers less so for the woman will have plenty of time to contemplate your actions back at Birmingham officers are counting the massive haul of cigarettes a man has brought baton in gran canaria you did realize that if there is a limit when you'd actually become an arrest of offense okay you're going to be close it spends on the value the man's friends book the tickets is also carrying three suitcases full of cigarettes it's now a question of what penalty been raised 56,000 rather impressive thirty five thousand six hundred over the limit because obviously the baby is not entitled to anything with the man's friend also carrying a further thirty six thousand yet the total haul is just under the amount where they would have been arrested that one is a warning there no obviously you know you sell very close to the wind this time and there is no other sanction this Asia depends no fire there's no offense or something else the morning there is there to say do it again because next time it may be more serious okay yeah it's a lucky escape for the two men whose audacious attempt at smuggling cheap cigarettes would have edge of the profit of over two thousand pounds each quite happy disposition checks on the the people involved in both parties and myself and my colleague were happy that they were first-time offenders from a customer's point of view you need to say that that will be the records will be maintained on them and should they try and make another attempt more punitive action may well be taken coming up a woman get wig struggles to explain our suitcase you've never been arrested Yeah right well rape is so definitely so [Music] and gambling capital plane has just come into my analysis area for illegal drugs as the last of the passengers pass through the customs channels offices stop a woman the UK after a routine baggage search in an ion scan swab test of a suitcase traces have been found for despite the woman's protest the suitcase is taken away for further tests I've done annoyance came on the bank she's adamant she hasn't come anywhere near drugs she's adamant there's nothing in there but sir I've got to find out why how about a reading for 2.55 don't you do for a living what does your partner do well I'm getting on it still getting readings for cocaine so you said you're traveling with your partner I need to have a chat with him as well to see if we can see if we can find out why we all get in readings the woman starts to become agitated with the suggestion that she's been involved I'm not saying you've got it all I'm saying is at the moment you know actually well I haven't found any so that's that's good but I still need to find out why I am getting these readings it might be that your boyfriend will be able to Ostrow some write on it I don't know until I spoken to him but if he can't for me realize not what's happened but at the moment well until I've spoken to him I can't say what's going to happen whilst waiting for the woman's boyfriend to arrive from immigration become intrigued by some prescription drugs in the woman's hand luggage strong medication with questions to be answered the woman's Rastafarians boyfriend is a route through immigration that v2 is less than happy of the suggestion has been involved okay it can happen for anything you can have touched something that somebody else has touched on but you don't know that you might change the essence me you might sure you can pick up traces of drugs from anywhere you can pick them up from training you can pick them up from airline seats you can pick them up from being in night clubs pubs laws anyway no but this is what I'm saying to you this is you can pick traces of drugs sir okay and that can then contaminate the contents of your suitcase so what we need to do is we need to make sure that's all I reckon artisanal with neither passenger offering an explanation further searches will be conducted to get to the bottom of the cocaine traces it's the middle of the day at Berlin Airport a flight is due to depart to Dubai and officers are using sniffer dogs to detect passengers carrying and quantities of the cash well under the proceeds of Crime Act 2002 anybody who's carrying more than a thousand pounds we're entitled to ask them about origins of the money and what they intend to do with it okay so you carry a cash in your pocket today yeah we're trying to intercept criminal money going up before it commits a crime before they go out to buy drugs before they go out to buy cigarettes so it hit them in the pocket and where it is none of us like losing our money yeah if passengers can't provide evidence where the cash has come from all but it's going to be used for officers have the power to seize the money and investigate the individual further such a battle is over Commerce whoa a man waited to board the flight to Dubai has been pulled over for questioning he lives and works in the UK and claimed he was carrying just for 1,000 on further questioning revealed actually carrying 4,000 pounds did you spike not to buy just like to buy is everything anything including the money belongs to you yes just will you give you a buyer quick checks oh okay yeah if you have any more money apart from the war with the flight about aboard officers will have just meant decide what to go with the man and this cash to short coats yes any money in the coat no no no money in the coach maybe someone is 50% is family it's very important you tell us about all the I sir I said to you can you tell me about all the money thank you the members with more money in this bag now you remember to have more money in the core do you have any more cash on you anywhere anymore on your face and your wallet your job your national insurance card yes I am here can I see it please the man's dishonesty is ringing alarm bells have you picked your type certain in last year what floor this year last no is that yes yes I'm a freshman did you figure tax no no last season if I have you only been arrested by the police of customs after confessing to not having completed a tax return officers will conduct background checks on the passenger formation as long as you've done everything buddy can you take your money bill off to snow sub and just show me all the money to send them when he built you have yeah just with the threat of losing his money the passengers starting to get upset did the interrogation reluctantly he shows the contents of his money belt [Music] and then here you see you have to be thousand-pound the money here is not bankrupt stock so is that this money you've taken from your shop yes [ __ ] yeah [Music] as the last passengers board the flight the suspected tax evader looks unlikely to be leaving the country with this cash in Gatwick the raster passenger is being decidedly candid so as a raster then gia is cannabis yeah you miss we're gonna have known nadir but only to sort of find traces of cannabis got some more cannabis but know how to but you see where you do your where you say that you're a reggae are just okay so where you do that there could be people there who smoke drugs and smoke okay yeah did you see what I'm saying yeah so you could have picked up traces of drugs from there you wouldn't know that you still officer Hays off takes the man's suitcase to the x-ray but her colleagues sound that you might have worked out what's causing the I train we just have to check your partner but what I think is happening is because of the drugs you're taking it's reacting for the cocaine test that's probably all it is yeah but that's what it is I think that's what it is because you've got really strong medication and I think that's where it is because you're taking it when you sweat it goes into the into your pores and where then it goes on to your clothing then you're putting the clothing in your suitcase and that's what's contaminating asel search of the man's suitcase comes back clear as well okay that's fine yes despite the questioning a couple are happy to accept that it's been a necessary interrogation by the officers thank you for being understanding sorry for delaying okay bye-bye he was fine the Kasai sprang him out the queue and he was absolutely fine he was charming chatty and the minute that you mention drugs cocaine specifically he was not happy at all he's a Rastafarian and to my understanding they use cannabis don't have much to do with cocaine but he got quite cross up here but then it called me princess so I figured it wasn't too bad nobody ever calls me pretty sexy they felt better when I said I think it's the mid okay yeah [Music] in Birmingham officers have just minutes to decide what to do is the man carrying over 4,000 pounds in cash having lied about the amount of money he was carrying background checks have been conducted goodbyes you know what being arrested as notice for you've never been arrested yes a full record show definitely so I know Records also fully good sister that's the airport is where we said he'd never been a troubled customer the PNC he's got em checks Quinn back for been giving the cigarettes into terminal airports and 1,400 that was last year despite his previous offenses today the main concern is the full thousand pounds of cash which may be illegal income having failed to pay any taxes for the previous two years officers decide to seize the money time now to talk about the money you need to make a decision on whether you're going to travel or whether you're going to stay here to answer further questions in relation to the money and miss your flock that's your decision you're free to go but the money's not free to go you understand you can unless your flight and Steve to speak with us and you won't be flying today or you know flat or or you can go in the flight now but your money will be staying here and we'll go before the magistrate and forty hours so you have to make the decision sir do you want to fly what you want to stay reluctantly leaks from hands over all of this cash this case will go to court and he'll have the chance to appeal the seizure when he returns to the EK that's the reasons why the money's been taken from me okay thank you with just seconds to spare the man and his wife that's their flight - if you hadn't done the last check about what my own taxes had paid what benefits has been claiming he would have been on the flight with that money because we did the check we found out he hadn't paid his taxes which therefore is pursued a crime so therefore he's money's gone the woman caught smuggling twenty five thousand pounds worth of cocaine in her laptop was found guilty and sentenced to five and a half years in prison [Music]
