The Customs Department arrested six crewmen of a cargo vessel while they were smuggling several million foreign cigarettes worth about 88 million baht, including taxes, into the country via Satun province, department director-general Kulit Sombatsiri said on Tuesday.
Mr Kulit said a special unit tasked with the suppression of cigarette smuggling led by Nathawut Saradan on March 17 at 9.20pm intercepted a cargo vessel seen entering Thai territorial waters at speed from Malaysia in an area north of Tatutao Island in Satun province.
