New South Wales Police raided a property in Murga, about 55km east of Parkes, last Wednesday where they seized and destroyed 16 tonnes of illicit tobacco.
Police received a tip-off last year that an illegal tobacco crop was being grown on a property in Murga, about 55km east of Parkes, sparking a joint investigation with the Australian Taxation Office .
“The NSW Police Force, the AFP, the ACIC, and all our other partner agencies will continue to conduct operations targeting illicit activities. Collaborative efforts are necessary to target any criminal activity which brings potential harm to our community.” “Evading excise duty on tobacco costs the community millions of dollars that could be spent on essential community services.”
